Current Situation: Isk spammers annoy everyone in high-traffic channels like NPC corps or noob system/trade hub locals. We can block them, but they all get banned within 10-20 minutes, and the block list only has so many spots on it. Someone who is in Jita a lot and blocks obvious spambots can fill their block list in a few days.
Proposed solution: Every downtime, the server will check everyone's blocked list for people who got permabans that day, and remove them.
Benefits: We can block obvious spammers without having to worry about filling our blocked list.
Drawbacks: Additional server strain.

Supported. The additional strain on the server happens at downtime, so it has little to no relevance. And it's really just an additional database call for each permabanned user...
I could imagine more advanced features against the spammers, but which require much more work to implement and also cause more realtime server strain, so your solution is a good start.

Yes, that's what I do currently, and it works to some extent. But if I actually want to read one of those busy chat channels, then not blocking a guy who is sending a message that fills half the window every literally four seconds is actually a serious detriment to my ability to use those channels for their real purpose.
I'm not saying the current situation is intolerable. I'm saying it can be improved.

I heard they were adding a "right click -> report isk spammer" function in Dominatrix (I read that they had it on the test server), so that should speed things up a bit.
But for other reasons, I think this could be a useful function. Hence the support.

With Dominion, there comes the option to right click a charactr, report as ISK Spammer. Check my sig for what happens when you report yourself...
Why do you want to report yourself as an ISK spammer? If you are one, just stop spamming already! |

Missed that in my various looks at Sisi recently - good to know. And I love that error message. Still, I think that even with that system, something like this would be handy. Have the "Report as spammer" button automatically assign a 30-minute block, say. Not quite the system I imagined, but that should actually work better.

IIRC, they get perma blocked and don't appear in your block list. Why do you want to report yourself as an ISK spammer? If you are one, just stop spamming already! |

Edited by: Athre on 29/11/2009 04:56:34 I'm fine with the down time block clear if the right click report does not auto block them at the same time.

To effectively combat the isk spammers they HAVE to institute an automated system using pattern matching of any text that trial accounts send. Any mention of anything that looks like one of their adds should automatically flag them for a GM to quickly verify and they are banned within seconds of the first time they spam. You also need to require a credit card or something for confirmation that isn't as easy to generate hundreds of disposables as an email address is. Then when perm banned for spamming they could not so easily go create more accounts right away.

No. There are still people out (like me) that don't have one of those, and neither have the need nor the intend to get one.
