Rampant botting and RMT..nothing being done

[Natsuno]

Reported a 'friend' bot for harassment (same company name so the same 'entity' is making more chars to grief people that have already /blisted them) and had a positive reply within the hour.

Both /tell bots I reported vanished after a day tops too. I haven't seen another fill the space that these two left yet, (also saw a THM bot red ball in the same area) so I am personally seeing results of myself (and more than likely others) reporting them.

If GMs have the power to ban/freeze the accounts of the blatantly obvious offenders (which I assume they do), then that'll help ease the burden on the special task force.

Slightly off topic, but I wonder how many of the complainers (or people in general) actually go through the trouble of reporting them? Just a random thought.

By saying that the same entity is making more characters to spam people who already blacklisted them, you kind of caught the reason as to why those bots vanished after a day tops. Because they go by a different name now to continue spamming.

I for one have reported bots, several times, only to see them still botting the next day, the day after, and months later. And yes, I have provided all the necessary info, every time. And every time I got the same copy&paste message back.
