Blacklist 195/200... all RMT

Well, it seems as if I'm going to hit the limit soon enough.

RMT spammers don't keep using same accounts since they usually get banned or restored to their rightful owners.

I just delete about 50 of them and start blacklisting again.

SE doesn't delete the characters. They just ban them. When you see (Deleted) it was the account holder themselves who did that. RMT have started deleting their own characters to get around blist. It's up to you to go back and prune the old names from your blist.

Keep the most recent 5 or so on blist, delete the rest.

There are no rightful owners with names like Dfsfsf Fdgdgd. It's the same guy, making different characters, advertising the same website.

Everybody together now:

~/o Oooooh, you can safely delete them because
the accounts have long been banned
and they don't show up as (Deleted) because
they don't delete characters when they ban accounts and
there's no reason to keep a full blacklist o/~

Hello, all! This is LGM Enkrateia here. I don't mean to bump up an old discussion; however, this particular quote is related to a concern that seems to be increasingly included in RMT solicitation reports.

As time goes on, we are getting more and more RMT reports including the information that the blacklist is already full of RMT, so more cannot be added. Some reports that include a bit more information note that only prior entries that have changed to "Deleted" are being removed to make room for new entries.

I wanted to provide a bit of information and insight to address these concerns, which will hopefully help keep you from filling up your blacklist with RMT names that are never removed.

Once an account is found guilty of RMT solicitation, it is suspended indefinitely. However, the characters on that account are not deleted, since the suspension of the account is sufficient to prevent further solicitation from the account. Deleting the characters is an additional step that is not taken, since it is unnecessary, time consuming, and could result in account damage or loss in the case of a suspension that needs to be lifted, such as in the case of a compromised account used for RMT solicitation.

The blacklist is recommended as a temporary resolution to alleviate the unwanted solicitation, and is not meant to be a permanent state you place these names into. Removing the names periodically should allow us time to complete our investigation, and free up room in your blacklist if another account is used to solicit RMT.

I will be monitoring this thread to try to provide answers or insight into questions or comments about the topic of RMT reporting and handling. I do also understand that it is a very frustrating concern for many of you, and ask that you keep discussions, comments, and suggestions civil.

Delete the early 50, they don't exist anymore.

If they stole an account that allow up to 8 characters per server to be created then they can do this.

I seriously doubt RMT spammers are paying for accounts just to have them banned.
