But in reality its all about macro detection and bans. -------------------------------------- Abstraction and Transcendence: Nature, Shintai, and Geometry

JitaBum Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2009.04.22 12:33:00 - [33] It's a disgrace. This will not be dealt with.

Same characters linking the "same" contracts week after week 23/7. You saying that is humans doing that? I dont mind the scamming I just want a readable local.

I think he was insinuating that the "better" part doesn't quite make sense since there is no macro detection to be better than…
Drunk Driver Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2009.04.22 15:20:00 - [37] Originally by: Gone'Postal Turn local chat blink off and ignore the whole thing? This.
skuggan	Posted - 2009.04.22 16:30:00 - [38] I'm not myself a very regular visitor to jita (usually my business is done in smaller tradehubs, such as hek) But on rare occations im there and i must agree, it IS a problem. And yeah you can always minimize local and turn blinking off, BUT that only ignores that there is a problem, it does not fix anything at all, so 60-90% of the "answers" in this thread is useless. We have a contract system for a reason, and it is easily searchable sortable and arranged with a wide range of options.. so why not just forbid excesive or linking at all in local everywhere... -- Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.
Mirana Niranne Rabid Ninja Space Monkey Inc. Total Comfort	Posted - 2009.04.22 17:06:00 - [39] The problem is that the more you let it go on, the worse it is going to get. Eventually the flood of spam will become so bad, it'll be lagging people out and causing disconnects, nevermind the standard jita lag.
Marielle TueurDeCoeur	Posted - 2009.04.22 17:36:00 - [40] I don't know how macros work, but if they disabled the ability to paste links, or paste anything for that matter, into the local chat, would that not help? So that the only way you could put something in local chat is to manually type it in. Don't know if that can be done or not.

If people are stupid enough to fall for the current blatantly obvious scams — god knows for what reason — I'm sure they'll be stupid enough to go click an obvious scam-link in an obvious scammer's bio… ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki
Derus Grobb Selectus Pravus Lupus	Posted - 2009.04.22 18:25:00 - [44] Yeah, Jita local is just embarassing. ---
Andrea Erlang Caldari Erlang Biolabs	Posted - 2009.04.22 19:41:00 - [45] I agree that it should be dealt with. While I fully support scamming, it does give an edge to the game, this is just absurd. Countless macros spamming it 23/7. Obviously some people will say, close local... problem is, I like Jita local. There was always something going on, while it wasn't the most interesting thing in the game, it's actually a neat way to pass up time, chat up with the locals, get to date with recent EVE events and browse legit contracts that would pop-up every now and then, even with all the raven and "zomg, leaving eve! I'm giving 10x isk back!!!oneone..." scams, it was actually still pretty decent. And best of all, scammers would have to try to convince us they were real, yeah they were all fake, but it was fun just for that fact. And this was what? Only few months ago? Now the amount of fake contracts being spammed is ridiculous and, yes, you CAN'T block them that fast. The obvious solution here is to limit the amount of contracts one can post, i.e. 1 per minute, but it can have several contracts linked in it. Sellers, scammers that aren't macros, will all benefit from it, the only one who will be hurt is those people who tend to spam contracts, like Blue Macaw from the log.
ThrashPower Gallente	Posted - 2009.04.22 20:07:00 - [46] Let us block all trial accounts with one click please.
Lothros Andastar Gallente	Posted - 2009.04.22 21:01:00 - [47] Originally by: ThrashPower Let us block all trial accounts with one click please. This please. And perhaps a option to block NPC corp people too
Cherybol Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.04.22 22:12:00 - [48] Some good ideas brought up here. I'm all for limitations on contract linking in public channels. I don't ever see a time when one would need to throw up 20x contracts constantly unless your spamming. Which, is why we're here to end that. I have a search function in Contracts. And I have the Sell Orders forum to browse for them aswell. Thanks.
Rathelm	Posted - 2009.04.22 23:25:00 - [49] All they need to do is add the amount as a name like they do with even numbers. So 499,999,999 would say (499 million ISK). Second thing they need to add is add the ability to see what you're transporting with a courier contract. Lastly instead of using different colors for pay and receive they need to make it more clear whether you're paying for something or getting paid for something. Those 3 changes would make contract scamming a lot harder and reduce the amount of spam we all have to deal with.
Reiuko	Posted - 2009.04.23 00:08:00 - [50] The contract scam basically follows the same ordeal with people listing market orders with ******edly high prices in hopes someone clicks through on say, a shuttle. Really the whole 999 contract ordeal is simple: If they're offering it at 200k, and it ends up being any number other then 200k, don't accept. Simple. Hell its like in real life. "Car for x ammount, but in reality it ends up being y ammount." Just a fact of life that they'll try to hit you for every dollar your worth. I just want the flipping spam to halt.
