We need GMs that have the power to lock an account (followed by a review of the account) whenever RMT activity is reported and the chat logs show reasonable evidence. That's all it would take.

Currently, they log and monitor RMT spam and send it off to the anti-RMT task force, which flags accounts and bans them roughly once a month. That gives the spammers a long time to operate per paid account. It's $15 (sale price for Realm Reborn) to have unlimited ability to spam your RMT website to players for a month.

If ordinary GMs had the ability to automatically lock accounts that were clearly sending hundreds of spam messages (but not actually terminate the account until it had been reviewed), then RMT websites would see their advertising costs skyrocket as they are forced to buy and acquire more accounts. This would lead to less overt spam, because every spam message would run the risk of account lock and termination.

SE needs to stop snooping on the RMT and just lock them out.
