Please clear your blacklist!

[RyuujinZERO]

If it hasn't been said yet, what if I put you on there for a reason and forgot why ~ gil seller or not!

You just want everyone to remove you from their blacklists...lawl

At least a few guys have gone on my list due to them getting in a shouting match with a bot:

Bot: "[Buy our gold! - only $1 million dollars!]"
Guy: "Shut up!"
Me: "It's a bot, he can't hear you"
Bot: "[Buy our gold! - only $1 million dollars!]"
Guy: "Shut up!"
Me: "Just block him, quit spamming or you're going on the block list too"
Bot: "[Buy our gold! - only $1 million dollars!]"
Guy: "Shut up!"
Me: "Welcome to blacklist: Population - you and 199 bots"

I'm coming up with a system for my self to deal with the black list, (at 20 so far, 19 RTM spam, 1 is an actual annoying person). After a week or two i'll be clearing the normal named people out, If they start messaging me again, back on the black list they go. If they are the hulk smash keyboard names, they stay until they say deleted. Of course i'm always going to keep the real person on there, no mercy on them. :P

As i've looked at my black list online, even some of the people with real names are level 1 bots.

But i have black listed legit players too, as some of them have classes up. So i'll be looking though my black list online to tell who's a real player who got hacked, and who isn't a real player.

I would clear my 75 person blist but none are legit - theyre all characters with one lvl 1 class with 50 exp. Which pretty much means theyve never played it outside that 1st quest when u first make char. I did delete one person that had some 50s and other levels but thats only potentially legit acct there. So 74 remain

Lots of us were banned for RMT spam because our accounts were hacked

Why would i want to have interaction with a player who allowed their account to be overtaken when there were countermeasures available?
I am sorry to inform you that if you lost your account because you were not taking proper care of it, i do not want to interact with you, mainly because i do not want to accidentally interact with your character the next time your account is "hacked" and risk losing company chest, gil or items. Additionally, it is my opinion that most of the "hacked" gil-shouts are actually accounts that purchased powerlevelling services.
It would be different if your account was actually hacked and your one time password was compromised or removed and your password also compromised. However, i am unaware of that happening in any cases in FFXIV. We have had one time passcodes for about four years now, they are ridiculously cheap to procure.

Nice try RMT drone. We'll clear our blacklist, and be filled with spam again, and we'll have to spend an hour to reban half that list. I'm not falling for it >O

[Riko_113]

especially if the name is a normal name and not just a jumble of characters.

My main reason for not doing this is because(and i could be wrong) I believe this game has a name generator based off of the naming conventions of that race. So RMT don't actually have to have asdlasdflkj as their name. It can be a completely valid name w/o being an authentic player.

ITT: People who think that just because they don't click one link on a random site, that they are immune to hacks. Thus, acting all high and mighty.

How clueless some people are. I have no doubt that 99% of you got hacked once and you don't even know it. Lawl.

It is amazing how clueless people are, oversimplifying multi-faceted issues, using hyperbole, random statistical numbers, a tone of condescension and a ultra-original meme "laugh" as a finisher.

Did I miss anything?

[Cigaran]

When the blacklist reads (Deleted), then they get removed. Until then, the names remain. While I've blacklisted my fair share of Yaskjdhfaa Lohklsuiren or Abbaskyyds Ghoiuhaslkeu, I've also blacklisted a fair share of twits that I have zero interest in seeing take up a single pixel on my monitor again.

I'm sorry that you got hacked and that as a result that you got blacklisted but there's sadly not a whole lot that can be done about it.

Only 2 people on my blacklist at the moment..

Every day I delete the ones from the last couple days. Hasn't caused any issues or repeats.. yet..

So no worries from me, even though we are on different servers.
