I can't go two minutes in this game without being spammed by clowns selling Gil.

It's gotten to the point where my blacklist is filling two complete sliders and I'm literally STILL on my free trial period.

I'm assuming you can't ban these people by region or IP as they are probably cycling and bouncing that around as much as possible and you risk banning people that are legitimate players.

I have a solution. I would like this setting:

Receive tells from:
Free Company [X]
Friends List [X]
Anybody Level 10 and Higher [X]
Anybody [ ]

Any of the last two check boxes would permanently put the gil peddlers completely out of business as they are obviously just constantly creating and deleting brand new (level 1) characters, doing a generic search on the players list and firing off macros. Requiring level 10 before being allowed to send tells would not in any way harm the general community as I feel that 1-10 is a solo operation in every sense of the word.
