I suggest that CCP add a word-filter to the chats and EVE-mails.
This would mean that as new isk seller sites pop up, they could add them to the filter and that site would only be able to be used one day or even less, depending on if the filter can only be changed during downtime or if it can be changed on the fly.
Downside to this is that it could possibly be opening a can of worms for cencoring other things in the chat.
Apologies if this has been suggested before.

It should of course not be an automatic filter, it should be edited by GMs as the isk seller petitions roll in. This would let the GM read what people said preventing people from being banned in cases like yours.

I'm kinda suprized that this isn't already implemented.
Each individual act an isk seller does may seem small but collectively the isk sellers cause a lot of harm to the game by their actions, they repeatedly use public channels as their own private selling ground, their actions reduce resources better used for genuine players, some players like to pay for their gaming by selling their isk for timecards in an false economy created by the isk sellers, GM's have to use their time responding to the petitions are but a few of the things isk sellers cause.
Perhaps stopping Trial accounts from posting website addresses in eve channels?
would work better, I think filtering out the isk sellers websites is open for abuse or alot of resource from the GM to prevent abuse.
Although filtering out the common sites would seem a smart option considering the effort required to set up a secure online store.

OR they could just get their lawyer to sue the isk sellers and make a bunch of isk of their own ;)
Kieron i could compile a list for u if u want and mail u a ton of said sites.... Any CCP responce to this would suffice for me to send a list.

I am supprised that no dev has ever just purchased the lowest amount of isk as a sting then trace it in the system as who sent them it and just erase everyone in the chain of transactions that lead from the bank characters to alts to the recipiant. It dosent take a fracking genius.
The progression over time has become something of a social experiment. In the days of UO and EQ making money thru an online game wasent concidered that taboo at all. I think EQ even encouraged it for some time. It wasen't until companies sprung up that drove inflation rates to historic levles that MMO's started taking a new stance on their internal economy. In EvE isk sellers really dont pose much of a threat to the economy because there not really able to monopolize a meens of attaining wealth. where as in a game like FFXI rare items are camped 24-7 365 days a year and it often seems that the only people getting and selling those items are the RMT's (real money trader)
It's not as if in EvE you can "camp the megathron spawn" and force people to buy your ships. And even people who purchase Isk normaly have a purpose for it and imedately spend it back into the economy wich is better than a "bank" character hordeing it. I asked a friend of mine that I recently got into eve last year why he bought ISK and he replied that it was because he dident want to spent the countless hours or days "sucking rocks" or doing some other menial task to get the cash he needed to try something. In one month he was fling battleships thanks to evemon. and later made his first POS all funded on RMT isk. The argument I proposed to him was that because he never spent the time makig the money in game he didden't deserve to reap the rewards of what it could buy.
Isk sellers advertiseing in game is kind of annoying, but there not going to vanish overnight. Especialy when throwaway accounts can be made to spam every day.
