Is anything actually being done about RMTs?!?!?!

Hey there fellow Levi-ite. I have to admit it is damned bad on our server. Back to back tells from different RMTS saying the exact same message for the same site gets very obnoxious, very fast. The concept of "just ignore them" doesn't work anymore. Although I know SE does do RMT bans every week, it's not enough at this point o simply ban the character. So I propose a three strike system.

Every third time a player is proven to be an RMT, ban the character.
Every third time a character is proven to be an RMT and banned, ban the account.
Every third time an account is proven to be an RMT and banned, ban the IP address.

At some point, the RMT companies will find it more costly to business and either raise their prices (which will deter buyers) and just leave entirely.

Just my two cents.

EDIT: I also think we should have something like a "White List". Like what OP suggested, it's a /tell system that allows you to customize who you receive /tells from. This way you can opt to choose from "Friends", "Free Companies", "Linkshells", "All", or any combination thereof.
