so much RMT!

Hi LineageRazor,

Last year, I posted a suggested functional description (to a non-SE website) for the mitigation of the /tell spammer threat. It was immediately "disapproved" by another player (spammer sympathizer perhaps?) who argued that implementation of keyword triggers would completely crash the Common 3D Tools/Crystal Code (Source Code) and the servers. I also suggested a global blacklist, whereby players benefit from blacklisting done by the first person to report the spammer.

The predictable words and phrases that spambot owners use with only the last 4 characters varied, indicates that gamemasters have set their filters to filter the entire message, where they should be filtering keywords that no ordinary player would ever use.

RMT harassment can be mitigated. CCP Software did it via Unholy Rage last July.
