Every day now I see the following crap on local around rens -
"Accidentally purchased an Invulnerability field II! Buy back for 90k!"
And its 90 million.
Yes.. Scamming is a legit way of ripping off idiots. I don't have a problem with it.
what I have a problem with is the ever increase size of my block list.
What I propose is the following:
1: Take away the ability to link contracts from all chat rooms
(Don't scream yet and finish reading my post of you forever shall be labeled an idiot)
2: Make a new section in the Market called "Contracts"
In this market tab you would see contracts of various kinds types and deals.
Now I Realize there is a contracts button but the contracts thing sucks.
There's no effective way to search... no effective way to snipe for items.
If I want a bloody BPO of said item... I want to search for it and not fiddle through a few hundred BPC's.
If I wan't a nomad... I'm not interested in seeing Fenrir's
They need to rewrite or make a new contract browser so that if someone wants to shop for goods then they can do it there.
9 times out of 10 the public broadcast of a contract are crap anyway.... there's nothing useful there.
If I was interested in shopping I'll go look the damn thing up myself.
This allows them to scam as they see fit..... but it kills the spam.
If not makes it harder for them to get the word out.
Rough idea but its better than nerfing the scamming industry outright.

Kinda rough but worth supporting so it gets more attention.

Yes its rough but you are more than welcome to smooth it out.
The point is simply this... stop the spam... but not the scam.

The specific idea I'm not sold on, but the proposal more generally, of creating a better interface for contracts, I'm all for. Tentative support.

Echoing sentiment of fellow pilots in that the idea seems too rough. I really do agree however, with a market-esque contract system or at least some massive overhaul to the functionality of the current one.
As for the elimination of the autolinking of contracts in local, I think that might be a bit too brash. While I hate the spam, sometimes you actually do hit a gem of a contract that someone throws out in local that isn't 999,999,999 isk.
Then again... With a vastly improve contract system you might be able to find those gems much more easily, and without necessitating someone posting it in local.
However, I'm not sure which side of the fence I am on with that issue specifically to be honest. I like the fact that people can advertise their contract much more directly by autolinking it. I don't like spam.
I think we need to harvest more ideas on removing spam, but I'm not sure if the removal of autolinking contracts is the way to go. Now maybe, we could have a color change for contracts that exceed a certain market/contract average. Possibly have the contract average based upon Jita?
So if you autolink a contract in local and it exceeds the average, the autolink color will be red, and if it falls under the average it will be green.
Even this idea will not eliminate spamming though. All that would really do is make scamming just a bit harder, and I don't really see a need for that.
Tough calls, but lets see what some other people come up with.

I support the revamp of the contract system.
I don't want to derail, but didn't CCP wanted to introduce the "storefront", a new corp-based contracting station service? Around QR?
What if they roll the two ideas together?

The contract search should be improved.

1. I do not like this. Linking Contracts is very neat, esp in Corp/Alliance Chat and (somewhat) local
2. simply NO. Market and Contracts are totally different things.
