Report an RMT directly from Chat Log

Why can't we at least get a patchjob that searches for the strings ".com" ".net", ".org", ect and automatically filters tells with those strings in it out? That code isn't even hard to write.

This would affect a very small number of players in normal game, but would essentially shut down any gil spammers in /tell, and you could expand that code to also take chat modes outside of /p, /fc, and /ls if desired. The code could also be altered to filter whitespace characters (spaces and tabs) and to replace 0's with o's in the checks

I mean, this seems like it would be the bare minimum of service that we should get for a game that we are paying for. Filter out what could be reasonably a spambot message. I am certain there is a programmer out there who could make this in 1 day, and have it tested and in our hands in time for Golden Casino. Please, PLEASE Square Enix, make this a thing!

Such a solution would do nothing. How would it catch people who do something like ". Ç Ø M" or whatnot? I've seen RMT use such things all the time. They obfuscate the web addresses with various extended characters to confuse parsers, but a human can trivially figure out the web address from what they see on the screen. Hilariously, it's essentially an anti-anti-spam captcha XD
