A possible way to kill RMT sellers in chat..

So now we're censoring chat?

No thanks bud. Just ignore them when you see them and put them on your black list.

If they censor an entire message I send to a friend/FC because I happened to type a sentence with those 8 letters I would be pissed.

Censoring what the playerbase is and isn't allowed to say in chat is not a solution.

In WoW, trade chat was so infested with spammers that I just shut it off completely. There wasn't anything worthwhile being said there any more.

The problem with blacklisting is that it works against the name, and the spambots change names so often that your list would be full in a month. Perhaps a by-user filter. I create a filter that blocks anything with "**gold." in it. and I never see another post that matches it. The spammers won't know players are blocking their crap until their business falls off. Unfortunately, individual filtering / blacklisting won't stop the spammers from reaching their intended victims.
