200/200 Blacklist - All Gil-Sellers

[Steady]

Well it's official, I have no more room to blacklist gil-sellers. Infact I'm now deleting old gilsellers to make room for new gil-sellers.

And I don't mean deleting names that say "Deleted".

Anyone else having this problem?

[C-croft]

nope, because you can delete 180-190 of those names. (Deleted) means the character was manually deleted. Banned accounts stay inactive so the names cannot be reused.

I'm not there yet but I will be very soon. I have over 150 Gil sellers blacklisted as of today.

I'm hoping for a quest to *unlock* the ability to block more gil sellers!

Remember the fairy pond in the older Zelda games where you could throw rupees in? The fairy would appear and ask you what type of thing you would like to carry more of. After she increase your capacity for that type of thing, she would say:

"And with this, your happiness is increased by one step."

Yes indeed, my happiness would increase!

Hello, all! This is LGM Enkrateia here. I had posted this in another thread; however, the information does seem relevant.

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 beg to differ that suspension is sufficient, or this wouldn't still be an issue. It's the same person or group of people advertising the same websites.

You're taking their comment to literally, they're not claiming that suspension is sufficient in stopping overall RMT spam but rather is sufficient in disabling the offending individual accounts. Deleting the accounts would take more time and the only benefit would be making the removal of blacklisted names that more obvious.

There is really no reason to leave a blacklisted RMT player in your blacklist for more than a day most likely considering that by then the account will either have been suspended or abandoned by the RMT in favor for a fresh account that isn't on everyone's blacklist. There's a reason a new RMT for the same sites pops up every other day, they're not running multiple bots just tossing up a new one as the old one goes down.

You can probably delete everything but like the last 10 names and still never get a tell from the previous 190.
