I vaguely remember SE swinging a large ban hammer at one point, when the shouting got really bad. In retaliation, the RMT started actively hacking accounts and using them. Like I said, I don't know much about how to combat the problem on a software level. But maybe they are letting the annoying thing through to prevent a larger scale problem. The devil you know and all that. RMT's will always find a way in my experience
