So they weren't even being deleted: someone or some program was logging these characters in for their quick 3-shout ads and then right back out before players could black list. Two different websites, same three characters.

    Would it be so hard to assign at least 1 GM in each major city of each server to nail these things? I don't think these RMT bots could make it any easier to be tracked down and spotted.
    Same spambot program seems to be running on Diabolos as well in the major cities. You have to /blist them on the second shout before they log off. They seem to have recently decided to exploit the loophole that you apparently can't blacklist characters who are offline.

    The possible good news in this is that everyone on /busy seems to be forcing the spambots to change their tactics and become more visible (although they will probably step up their abuse of friend and linkshell requests as well.)

    /signed Cin Lyhn Excalibur

    And shocked there are so few signatures. And can't believe this is still so prominent an issue. I hate seeing bots wander around for weeks after being reported as well. (if not months actually..) Get on this SE.

    Also keep in mind the author of this petition is currently day 4 into a 10 day ban for issues arising from this very thread. When he gets back, another 75 or so signatures will be being added to the OP.

    Its also a problem that a lot of players simply do not use the forums. They haven't even seen the petition yet, or they would likely sign it.

    Things are not so pretty here on Jenova right now in Limsa - I think I would encourage everyone to to copy the spammed txt, and submit a ticket at least once a day...maybe nothing will be done - but I know for sure silence never gets anything done

    This crap just makes this game look junky - and it's a good game, and lots of fun - I don't want new people to come see this spam and go away

    PS - Tocsin - you look good with the hat -OT, I know, sorry!

    I also just found out from an FC mate, that at least one of the gil selling sites was offering placement on a "do not spam" list for their bots... for a monthly fee.

    This is getting ridiculous.

    The autor of this petition was banned because of this thread?

    Oh... Now Square Enix are listening to us.

    But I still think Square Enix are on the wrong side of this wall.
