Everyone sees the isk spammers flying around space. Most people either block or ignore them, from my understanding, because that's simpler than reporting them.
I propose changing the UI to make it easier to report characters for spamming isk, among other things.
What I propose is adding a "report" option to the right click function when right clicking on the name of a speaker in chat or the speakers message. The "report" option would expand out into a few other options which would include "Isk Spammers" "Harassment" and "Other Rules Violation", etc, etc. Once an option is selected, the create petition window pops open with the selected characters name already input and verified, and the associated message that was clicked is filled in as the petition text. The petition title is also filled in as an appropriate generic title for the category selected. To report an isk spammer, all one would have to do is right click the spam, highlight "report" click "isk spam" when it pops out a second later, make sure the right character and message is auto-entered into the window that pops up, and click "create petition". Three mouse clicks to report an isk spammer.
It would also help if this was enabled in the mail system as well, for when isk spammers hit your eve-mail box.
To combat abuse, add text to the top of the create petition window opened by these options indicating that abuse of the reporting system would result in sanctions against your characters/accounts, and if and when such abuse does happen, have the GM's hand out escalating punishment such as one day bans, one week bans, one month bans, and so on, up to a permanent ban.
Also, make any character that is reported under this petition added to a temporary block list that flushes itself either every 30 minutes or so, or isn't saved at all so it empties upon logging out
By taking the process of reporting isk spammers down to only a few clicks of the mouse, the general apathy of the population can be combated, and more people will be inclined to report these hacking, macroing, isk spamming bastards rather than just ignoring them.

WoW has the same feature and I loved it back when I played. There was no effort involved in simply right-clicking the person. It made you *want* to report the offender.
If CCP really cares about getting rid of ISK spammers, they would implement this. Incidentally, I wonder if they really do care since they *haven't* implemented it.

You know it's weird when it takes less time to get a response from GM about an isk seller than it does to file the petition in the first place.
So I'm supporting this, on the condition that the GMs come down hard on abusers, even... no, *especially*... on the larger scale where entire alliances would mass-report their enemies on the assumption that they could get away with it because "there's too many of us for them to ban everyone over it".

It's not about the apathy of the general population. I can already see mountains of false accusations piled up - and it doesn't matter how many warnings you give, because you cannot stop the people who think they are correct in reporting whatever they are reporting, or just act on a moments weakness. Filling out the form on the site gives some time to cool off and review the facts. *-*^-^*-*^-^*-*^-^*-*^-^*-*^-^*-*^-^*-*^-^*-*^-^*-*^-^*-*^-^ |

I'd like to see a GM watching Jita chat, so isk spammers in Jita are quickly banned. I doubt it would be that hard and would reduce the amount of petitions for isk spammers and make it overall less of a problem

Currently isk spammers have a loophole.
You can only create 2 petitions at a time.
So they bring in 3-4 bots in each wave.

That sounds good, but what I would like to see is GM's sitting cloaked in their special frigates in the starter systems while they do their daily petition answering thing so they can globally mute any isk spammers that are born in each system.

Fixed your post.
And supported, if the GMs won't do something proactive about isk seller spam, at least make it easier for us to do their job for them.
