Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

[Niwashi]

P.S. I've added a list of suggestions that people have compiled to the OP so that people no longer have to sift through 100+ pages. It is simply a list made by others throughout the thread, signing the petition does not mean you endorse these methods, only the ones listed in my original letter. If anyone has any method that I have missed, let me know.

A few more:

• Option settings for whether to allow Friend requests, FC invites, party invites, etc.
• Throttling the rate at which /tell messages can be sent.
• Give the "viewing cutscene" status the same effects as "busy" status, e.g. no /tell messages, Friend requests, etc.
• Modified versions of /busy (e.g. blocking /tell while allowing party invites, or blocking strangers but allowing friends)

But the biggest thing they most need is a combination of #1 on your list, right-click reporting, with a 24/7 staff of GMs monitoring those reports and doing the bans real-time rather than a few weeks later. (If the bots last long enough to be profitable before getting banned, then banning doesn't work. They just get replaced. Immediate bans as soon as they first begin their spam attacks would stop it, since they wouldn't be profitable enough to be worth replacing.)
