Persistent "Unstoppable" RMT Spam-Bot

[Eye_Gore]

The issue with the current "busy" status is that it actually restricts certain aspects of gameplay that have nothing to do with tells. For instance, you automatically respond "no" to all ready checks and you are unable to directly trade with other players while it is up.

Could just un-check tells in the chat log filtering menu.

You could, but that wouldn't let anyone know that you did not receive their tell. Also, does that stop the tell noise?

It does stop the noise as tells become disabled, or you could shut the noise off if you didn't want to disable tells. If you really need to communicate with someone and they are not within shout distance, you could use the mail system right?

Its not a perfect solution, but it wont disable other aspects.

... Of course it wouldn't eliminate it, but it would increase the time between character creation and spam pretty significantly, giving SE more time to ban their account.

A slight delay before their spam begins doesn't decrease the amount of it any. It doesn't give SE any more time to ban the account, because the requests to ban it don't start coming in until after the spam begins.

Also, does that stop the tell noise?

Noises for all types of chat log events (including /tell) are fully configurable. The only difference is that /tell has one of the sounds turned on by default.
