Can we please put an end to this dribble infesting the Local channel of every trade hub? I am willing to bet a significant percentage of them are run by bots and it's the most senseless and dim-witted scam ever conceived. I reckon if you took a 24 hour chatlog of Jita local 30% - 50%+ of it would consist of this spam alone. I really don't understand it. It's such a blatantly transparent scam to begin with, but when 10+ people are filling Local with this every 2 seconds 23/7 I can't imagine anyone actually falling for this.
So, I propose we just quality this as spam - the same way that copypasting "GIVE ME ISK!!!" every 2 seconds into local for 23 hours straight would be. It is the same exact thing. Make it a punishable offense. Remove this scourge from our universe. PLEASE. |

Yes, down with 'The Scourge'.
EDIT: Just 'Block' them, eventually Local chat will be 'Scourge' free. |

What are these scams of which you speak?
Funny that they don't bother me since I discovered that local could be minimized. Try it yourself. I think you'll find it most satisfying.

I made the mistake of actually reading Jita local yesterday. There was a guy claiming to sell 3 plex for 1.2 bill yet his contract had only 1 plex. Then there was "whaah, I'm quitting and giving away all my isk for 1 trit" yet it would be you buying trit at an inflated price. And to top it all off, 2 different attempts at the trade window lag scam. Just looking at that mess was a complete waste of 5 minutes of my life. |

Let them scam all they want. They rarely get people who fall for it and when they do it's usually some poor fellow that doesn't know how to handle their ISK properly and probably doesn't have that much anyway. |

When I was a nubbin I fell for this scam. Two years later I am the one doing this scam. I get a surprising amount of bites. :3
And I highly doubt a bot could pull off a successful "double your ISK" scam. You need good interpersonal skills to put the "victim" as ease and lull them into a false sense of security and trust (which I achieve by ironically telling the nubbins, "never blindly trust anyone in EVE.")

I personally don't give a crap if anyone actually falls for it or not. It essentially qualifies as begging for isk and it would not be an issue if one or two people tried to pull it off every now and then. The issue is that this mindless dribble is overtaking every single trade hub. |

double your isk is so 2008
triple your isk is where its at The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

What exactly is your issue with it anyway ?
You can always block.
It's within your might to react in every way you can imagine, which includes ignoring it, or blocking it.
(Well, personally i believe it's actually not even close within your might) (and most people don't really have any form of "will" or "free will") (which they prove day in and day out, just like you ... but i digress :)
I believe, as you can't do that, you are forced to react in the way you do. So it's actually an issue with you and not really related to whatever you're complaining about.
So why do you believe there should be put an end to it, instead of just ignoring it, living with it, blocking them ? Inappropriate signature removed. Spitfire |

I would wish CCP just set up a detection to check the intervals between the posts in the tradehubs. Set on scam 1 and let the interval reader check. If the interval has a certain ratio the whole time then do a more thourough investigation. If not then next.
Do that a few weeks with a small team of 2 or 3 people at the office and see howmany accounts can get removed due to useage of none allowed scripting.
Running a scripts or program to post your messages isn't metagaming as someone wanted to make it sound like.
To those saying just block.
It's not me who should be spending a long time to block scripted programs but CCP enforcing their own rules. Minimising local is also a crap answer since that would rob the real scammers and traders from part of their audience. |

automatically universally ignore anyone typing the word "double" into local! no one in their right mind would use the word "double" in a normal EVE conversation.
Vote for me for CSM! I'm an over-officious jerk. Anyone with any sense has already left town. |

Why are you even looking at local in a trade hub, that's like flicking a lion in the love spuds with a wet towel with your head in its mouth. You have a pretty good idea what to expect. |
