Why can't they auto-block RMT posts?

[JowyAtreides]

I was on a mmo that they blocked all IPs from china and Russia. After that it wiped out 99% of the rmt bots. It was very rare every seen one spamming after it. Maybe they should do samething here. They can always trace your route.

How about maybe they shouldn't?

The short answer to OP's question:
Because anything that's scripted or automated that results in a ban/silence can and will be abused by players who figure it out.

I’m pretty sure all IPs from China are already blocked. They have their own region and cannot log in the NA/EU/JP version without a VPN.

im more concerned by the fact that they go after innocent people who provide a service like the guy who runs mogboard and not these RMT jerks

Thats still automation. But it’s not like SE isn’t going after RMT, they just need our help.
