So, I'm just minding my business in Jita and decided to peek into local chat to laugh at some of the scams.
So, in local, whenever someone posts a scam, this one guy yells in local saying, 'SCAM'.
To that player, everyone knows its a scam, go mine or something. |

It's called chat-channel PvP. |

Nah, it's called being an annoying dingus. Every trade hub has "that guy", and "that guy" is more likely to be blocked than the scammers. Save the Domi model! Spacewhales should be preserved. |

I block them and tell them that they are blocked .. I then imagine them screaming and yelling that they are not scammers and that they are innocent and to pretty please unblock them but I would not have heard anything. This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.-á Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless |

WeeellGǪ as much as the OP is being a bit silly complaining about it, a spammer is a spammer and the GÇ£it's a scam!GÇ¥-spam is blocked as readily as the scam spam itself. The only thing that's more annoying than either of those are the GÇ£chat cleanersGÇ¥ who muck up any attempt at discussion (which can easily be had in Jita once all the spammers are blocked). GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Usually that's the only idiot who fell for it.

I wonder what would happen if someone made a chat spam bot that read the chat and whenever a known scammer posted a scam, the bot would post "Scam!"

I heard if you have the STEAM version of EVE, you get an achievement called "Scampi" if you do that 1000000 times, but I'm not sure if its true... You should try!

Well they'd be risking getting spanked by CCP for using a bot for a start. I tried real-life once. -áThe graphics suck. |

Fun experiment: Try spending 10 minutes blocking scammers in Jita local. Once they are all blocked, you will realize something I found to be quite shocking: Jita is actually a pretty quiet system.

I don't mind players calling attention to the scams being posted in local chat. I do it sometimes as well.
Personally, I think CCP should add a new skill to the game so players could sue scam contracts for False Advertisement. I'm talking about contracts that say 'Full set of +5 Implants' when there's actually only +3's contained in the contract. Or contracts that say 'Faction Ship' when it's actually a T1 ship, etc.
Quote:Legal Proceedings: This skill allows a Lawyer to sue one previously flagged contract once every 24 hours for False Advertisement. Each level trained would allow the ability to sue another previously flagged contract plus add another 10% to the settlement fee. The settlement fee is a percentage of the contract price to be removed from the wallet of the contract owner. If the owner of the flagged contract doesn't have enough isk to pay the settlement fee, any remaining isk in the contract owners wallet is removed as settlement fee and the contract is then removed from public view. Level 1 = ability to sue 1 previously flagged contract every 24 hours for 10% of the contract price. Level 2 = ability to sue 2 previously flagged contracts every 24 hours for 20% of the contract price. Level 3 = ability to sue 3 previously flagged contracts every 24 hours for 30% of the contract price. Level 4 = ability to sue 4 previously flagged contracts every 24 hours for 40% of the contract price. Level 5 = ability to sue 5 previously flagged contracts every 24 hours for 50% of the contract price plus special ability. Special Ability: Legal Proceedings Level 5 promotes the Lawyer into Judge, Jury and Executioner allowing him to 'Flag' one different contract every 24 hours for False Advertisement. That contract would then need to be ratified or flagged by 2 other level 5 Lawyers to enable Legal Proceedings against the contract, thus invoking the 3 strike rule. Joseph 'Judge' Dread = 'I am...the LAW'.

If everyone one knew it was a scam, then there would be no scams....
I too am excited about trading playability for more lag and shiny pictures.....:( Petition for a Minimum bounty of 10 mil. Prevent useless bounties!
