This is one thing I think ccp is doing good in.... though i would like to see them have more powers and tools for getting the spammers.
Stuff like word filters through chat to catch the isk selling websites (yes I know what tiny url is) and then apply a mute to that char so no one has to hear them spam....
don't know what powers isd have, I believe they can't ban characters but if u gave em something like a mute ability on players which could only be taken off by a stuck petition would help stem the tide.
some ppl may think powers like these are bad cause of free speach/privacy on word filters and misuse on second one but I think they'd be great.
2 Things i didn't see the in this dev blog that I think are important though.
Encouraging players to petition isk sellers.
The big difference between isk sellers and GTC trade is u can't make rl money out of GTC trade (u can save money but not make it).
I see a lot of these spammers when i sit in the help channel and am getting tired of petitioning them which I do half the time. The other half I just block them figuring that there are already another 5 petitions on the way about that 1 guy.... one thing I've heard though is that when we remove players from our block list they get added to buddy list..... not very fun searching through buddy list for isk spammers and our block lists tend to run out quickly.
Still gotta laugh eacch time I see spammers saying "buy eve GOLD"...... go back to wow =p

2 things that where missed in dev blog
petitioning isk spammers
major difference between GTC and isk sellers is you can't make rl money from GTC, u can save some but you can't make it.
would like to see more powers/tools to catch these ppl, word filters for their websites (yes I know what tiny url is) and global mute powers for isd so suspects will have to petition a GM to prove themselves innocent before they can go back to talking (though they can still play the game). I'm guessing the main reason you don't do this is cause it would cause some ppl to complain about privacy/free speech misuse of powers or whatever, but tbh I think most of eve would be fine with it.
also about petitioning isk spammers, i've noticed how u now have to specify a char name. Is this so 5 petitions won't cause problems for GM's? if so tell us so I can go back to petitioning them as my block list is getting full and don't wanna spam more petitions than are already being spammed.
lastly I still laugh whenever I see an isk spammer say "buy eve GOLD"...... go back to wow =p

I totally agree. I have never nor will I ever log off to avoid a fight. I personally believe that logging off should be a process and that there ONLY be 2 ways to insta log.
a) log off in a station
b) click log off, wait for a shown log off timer to expire, set at say 2 or 5 minutes, then it will insta log.
With this, if you just ctrl q your ship will stay in game for 15 minutes, which is the same amount as the agro timer keeps you in game.
off topic but also seconded. I still think the best way to do this will be in ccp's current plans to remove local so macro's can't tell instantly when they are about to be jumped... just make sure they can't just leave a noob alt perma scanning the gate to tell the other accounts when to log off.
