STOP THE ISK SELLERS FROM SPAMMING IN TRADE CHATS!
Isk sellers are nothing new. I have petiotioned some of them but no matter how many you can stop, they keep comming back. I used to think it is something I can live with but the last months I have noticed an increasing activity of those guys. Now 50% of the messages in trade chats and Jita's local chat are spam from those guys and it's becoming annoying.
Everyone knows that spammers use trial accounts. So that's my question for CCP: why dont you deny access to trade chats to all the trial accounts?
If that's too rough you could make those chats "read only" to trial accounts so new players can still get a taste of them and in the same time you stop the damn spammers from flloding the chats.
How does it sound?

Agreed. Block trial accounts from accessing all public channels except Help channel.
Also, what if they started to filter out all known isk seller sites, through the profanity filter? Plus ofcource all known combinations and variations? There are a set number of isk selling sites, and if someone take their time - an hour or two - to add these pages to the profanity filter with a 100 or so different spellings, they can be limited in help channel too!
I am against removing trial accounts though. THey are too important for CCP and for new serious players. But the serious players dont need access to most public channels in the first 14 days! So remove! block! And open only for paid accounts!

even if the trial was half an hour they'd still abuse it to spam the trade channels.

Now, in order to make this productive, and to post the constructive, feasible plan that is required, logic and all...
<dons professor hat>
1. Petitioning ISK spammers is a failing mechanism. The use of trials accounts provides spammers/macroers with a free and repetitious means of getting their message out.
2. Limitations need not be put on trial accounts, with the exception of whom they can communicate with. Within the first two weeks of the new player experience, few if ANY (and probably none) players have need or desire to communicate in public channels.
3. If CCP were to take a poll from new players, they would very likely discover that players within their first two weeks of Eve don't know what the trade channels are; for many players, realization that they exist doesn't set in until months after they've been playing Eve.
4. Curtailing trial accounts' ability to communicate in trade channels is not a deficit to the new player experience. What they need can be found elsewhere.
5. Establishing reasonable expectations of what players should / be capable of doing within their first two weeks of Eve can help prevent the flagrant abuse going on now, such as..
-Distinct lack of need for trial accounts in trade channels -The same applies to local chat -The same applies to the forums 6. Trial accounts take one of two venues; either a friend of an existing player, or someone immersing themselves for the first time in the Eve Universe. The former has all the established connections that they need to survive the first two weeks through their previously established relationships. The latter has help chat, rookie chat, a tutorial, and an endless supply of players in game who are willing to help them understand the universe that they are flying in.
Given all these factors, there is ample reason to restrict the communicative abilities of trial accounts in the same fashion that their ship flying abilities are curtailed.
