Quite simply this is annoying, it's been going on for years, Chribba profiled it last year but the problem continues to build. It is no longer confined to the major hubs but is increasely happening in any system in proportion to it's population.
There please support the following proposal:
Ban the spaming of contracts in local.

Yes.
Only automated bots will be spamming, anyway.
If you don't like this proposal, you're a bot.

Only automated bots will be spamming scam contracts. Lots of people will drop a contract link in local to advertise on their way through. That's not spam btw.
So, given spam is essentially chat, how would you propose to isolate contracts from it, and also to actually isolate actual spammers? Pretty sure that the way the system works, the game likely makes little differentiation between Hi and 2xCaldari Navy Control Systems only 2 million ISK.
Sure, it has the autolink, but what is that really?

I support the concept but not the imlpementation. If CCP would move lots of the faction things to the market, a lot of the spam would go away.

This is about the principle of SPAMMING contracts in local.
We all know spamming when we see it and posting a contract once is not the issue, it is the posting it every few minutes we see in the major hubs.
I leave it up to the CSM/CCP to discuss how often is considered spamming.

I do, CCP only has so much money and I'd rather them spend it on the problems before the annoyances.
You also have the option of blocking offenders yourself if you must look at that horrible channel. Laugh with glee as you nuke them on your on.

Technically, preventing the pasting of contract links into local would be a trivial implementation.

its sometimes a pain in the ... when you happens to have a conversation or want to read the latest smacktalk.
only solution should be a little window that could be turned of and on, with a list of the local contracts,put on there by contractors or generated in a automatic way.
anybody who spams the local chat could be petitioned and a GM could warn or even tempban somebody

To be honest the simplest solution would be to have a trade chat channel that you can set to auto join once you reach a market hub system. That should separate the spam from local, sure it won't stop the botting but it is easier to implement technically

Are you bothered by the SPAM in trade hubs?
Or are you bothered by the spam of CONTRACTS in trade hubs?
Because a certain amount of the spam isn't contract related at all, and there'd be lots of ways for the contract spammers to get around restrictions, such as decribing the contract verbatim and linking people to the relevant pilot's bio.
If you want to put a stop to the small number of people talking a whole lot in popular channels, that's a whole other thing. Because people do have genuine conversations in Local too.

I have no idea what I pushed but it chopped me off - let me rewrite.
If Not a local chat channel
//Do what you want
Elseif Public Local Channel
If Linked Contract shown in past 3 minutes
//cant show
else
// can show
ENDIF
U get the idea - if basically a contract was linked in the past 3 or 5 min or something - u cannot re-link it in local.

It doesn't need game mechanics. Hhandle it the same category as racism or sexism, break the rule and get the ban-hammer.
