Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

I really support the idea of a Regular Expression Chat Filter option. I've seen a lot of evidence that points to the fact that a RegEx chat filter would be able to filter about 95-98% of all annoying gil-spam messages.

I believe chat filters provides a good combination of ease of implementation plus the least intrusive method against players. I still highly favor this idea. Most of the other ideas present a downside. For example...

-Level gating /tells.(Can stop two friends under the level gate from able to whisper each other if implemented.)
-Go after the gilbuyers(Not as easy to do as it sounds.)
-Adding a right click report option.(The RMTs will simply come back on another account and resume the spamming, little would change.)
-Increasing blacklist capacity.(The RMTs will simply come back on another account and resume the spamming, little would change.)
-Go after the suppliers(I actually don't see too much of a downside to this either.)
-Account wide blacklist(This will do little, as RMTs jump from account to account anyways after bein banned.)
-Allow /tells only once every 5 seconds or so.(Doesn't hurt players too much, but would be a minor annoyance for people who type fast for sure.)
-Allow /tell filters only between friends.(Would hurt crafters, and people in general like sending /tells to strangers sometimes.
-Implement custom chat filters (No downside that I can see. Unless the filters were not implemented properly and filtered out legit messages as well.)
