You are paying the Dev from your own pocket ?

Keep it open for intel outside of highsec/hubs and ignore it any other time. Yeah, that's been said.Isn't that a sad state of affairs though? A social mechanic that gets ignored because it's basically unusable in the systems with the most reason to use it.
D'oh. My bad, figured it was said.
Not as I see it. There are MANY other chat options than using local.
New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.
Want to make New Eden a nice place? Try this out.

That being ruined by people saturating the chat with spam messages hoping for one or two idiots to fall for their copy-paste scam just seems like a waste to me. |

Youre running around in space where people need Commandships and Marauders to do NPC frig anomalies. You're expecting too much from that piece of EVE imo.
I close local when I'm in h-sec. Which is becoming rarer and rarer to be honest. |

Wait, you actually look at local in highsec?
I think i have narrowed down the problem.
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

The main reasons to look at local in highsec are for intel, and to laugh at people who rage when another player makes them explode.
Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

Spam filters are easy enough to bypass, you just have a series of adverts that are different enough from each other to slip through the filter, imposing a max messages per x wouldn't help either, also, when i'm in jita its normally a number of people all spamming different things which makes chat scroll by so the filter wouldn't even be that useful, also, just ignore local, i barely use it outside of when i'm sitting in null doing relic sites :P |

Yea but these special snowflakes make new accounts each day and there's only so much clicking till your mouse gets exhausted I have a char sitting mostly in Amarr and one mostly in Jita and both locals are pretty tamed by now. Every now and then a new scambot/char pops up but I barely see any scam spam and even made some good deals because of the local chat offers. I didn-¦t even knew people actually advertise good deals in local but well, it happens and now I see them. :) So it-¦s worth blocking all the scambots/users. Not much work and once you got threw the big chunks it-¦s just adding more when they pop up but it-¦s not many.

OP, I know an absolutely certain and easy (and legal!) way to fix local to make it so someone never has to see the stupid spam anymore, ever again. Not many people know about this secret, but I do! Just send me only 500 million isk and I will send you a detailed mail explaining the secret to your new spam-free EvE freedom! I look. forward to doing business with you soon!

Why should local be something people have to work around though rather than embrace?

Most people don't. Why not? Rule enforcement. Having a spam filter and a rule against it, even something rudimentary, would stop most of the spam simply because people would opt not to do it. It is lots of people but those lots of people spam a lot themselves as they want to get their spam back on screen, so they end up spamming every few seconds. |

I find most of the scams to be entertaining. plus you never know when someone will say something useful. my policy is to just not block people.
