Please clear your blacklist!

[Spoolx]

Lots of us were banned for RMT spam because our accounts were hacked, eventually we will be back online. My request is that you frequently clear your blacklist, especially if the name is a normal name and not just a jumble of characters.
There is no point keeping these names on your blacklist because they all get banned quick so you shouldn't see that name ever spam again.

I doubt the characters on banned accounts get deleted.

I'm not clearing my blacklist until SE adds better filtering and make sit easier to report people.
maybe you should just ask for a name change.

name changes also change the names on the friendlist/blacklist

They will, I have already removed a few entries from my blacklist that said <Deleted>.

@Shirai
The deleted names could be an rmt deleting to make space for more characters. I've got 89 names on my blacklist, of that I've only had about 5 saying deleted. They also aren't going to delete peoples characters if they are indeed hacked users.

Edit: Thought I'd hit the quote option...

I was typing out a reply about how people get hacked but I'm not going to bother. I'm currently lodestoning people with normal names and if there account seems somewhat decent then I'll unblacklist it.
Getting hacked is pretty pathetic in this time and age, I mean security on stuff is so high the only thing I can think of is a) Virus from downloading bots or buying gold or b) Very, very weak password.

It's nice to see you apologizing though, I do wish you'll take more precaution in the future.

You (and many others) seem to forget phishing and how rife that is.

You can't blame people for being gullible and falling for a phishing scam, then following the dodgy links and entering crucial information. These people are clearly legit players, if a little on the dim witted side - they don't all deserve to be written off as "RMT/Botting scum - you deserve my /blist!"

In all my years I have never fallen for a phish. Oh Square Enix is going to give me the best gear in the game all I have to do is give them my password and username? Seems legit.
They already have it & it's encrypted in their database nor do they need my account information to access my account.

Common sense just isn't common enough.

Phishing sites are never that blatant, in most cases they copy the main site of the company/service so that it looks almost identical. Then someone follows a link (say one that looks like it's linking to a post in this forum) the person gets prompted for their login details on a page that looks almost/exactly like the Square Enix sites.

Some people not clued up on the subtle things to look for (like if the url is exactly what it should be and not squareenix.com/se-america.com/square-enix.co etc) can fall into these traps quite easily. Not because they're lured in by a advert for big prizes or unlimited cosmic power, but simply because the page looks official to the unknowing eye.
