Ultimate RMT Spam Killer.. Us.

[MashAuria]

Rather than coding in more and more regex to flag/block RMT spam.. Why not leave it up to the players?

My idea is rather simple and in my opinion, ultimately, fool-proof.

Add the option "Report as RMT" to the right-click menu for incoming /TELL and Friend Request names, but limit reports against players to one per person.
Again, this clickable-option is only available to /TELL or Friend-List Request recipients.

Keep a running 'tally' of how many "Report as RMT" clicks a character's account has received in, say, 30 minutes.

If any given player receives more than 10 'Report as RMT' flags in 30 minutes, block the account (not just the character) from being able to send TELLs or Friend Requests for, say, 1 hour for the first offence. The 2nd offence could be 12 hours pending Task Force review.

Personally, I can't really see any flaws in such a system and this also has the added benefit of reducing the workload of the STF, while making it soo much faster and easier to remove RMT spammers from the game.

Edits and a summary:
Incoming Tells and Friend Requests can be right-clicked and 'Report as RMT'
Each SE Account can only file one report against another SE Account, every hour.
Filing a confirmed False report will forever disable the 'Report as RMT' function for your entire SE Account.
15 reports in less than 30 minutes blocks your SE Account from being able to send /TELLs or Friend Requests for 1 hour. (2nd offence is 12hours + STF Review)
Only Unsolicited tells can be reported, if there's active communication, they can not be. (See quote below)

I'm aware a few people may be trolled, but it'll only happen once per-troll as they will no longer be able to use the feature, and the added thread of a ban for this should be a sufficient deterrent.
Maybe missing one, but that's the gist of it.

Unsolicited tells:

Again simple solution: 1). If you send a person and a /tell and they reply to you, that person can not report your message as spam as you solicited communication from them and spam is always unsolicited. 2). If someone sends you a /tell and you reply to them you can not report them for spam as you chose to continue communication with them. These would prevent your above scenario.
