If their ability to derive any benefit from the activity gets suppressed in the first few seconds then they will probably stop trying. The fact is as things work now they end up spamming for hours, so they see a benefit in engaging in this activity. The concept of a global blacklist created by user input is pretty standard in email systems nowadays. Creating filters for chat isn't going to be anywhere near as reliable as relying on human beings who see the spam to recognize it for what it is.
I definitely support a global blacklist that would ban them from using any communications after a set amount of players have reported them. Though 20~30 would be too low and I say that because there are jerks out there that would do this for fun. But just as well, the same tool may backfire and the gil sellers may get upset about it and do it to regular players out of spite. I already feel the reason they spam this much is because no one is buying their crap, well, not no one but not as much as they would hope.
