Also if I may, I have no idea how to program a ban bot by myself ( tho I could actually try ), but I think gold spam issue could resolved through one, since really 2 -  8 priests all spamming at the exact time the same attack towards one enemy in the starting area, really isn't hard to spot even for a bot.

Edit: If any gold spammers here see this, feel free to whisper and mail me

Are you reporting these players in-game or just through the forums? Reporting them through the forums is not going to get very far, unfortunately.

Try making an in-game ticket and these players will be evaluated and punished accordingly.

edit: just clicked through the rest of the photos and see a bunch of GM responses in your mailbox.. so obviously you are making tickets. Everyone knows gold spam in chat and ingame mail is a problem, the issue (or so it seems) is that accounts are free and they can just make more accounts and level characters to 10 and then spam all over again. :\

Botting on the other hand, may be a bit harder to detect, so it requires the players to report these players.

Been waiting for an answer for a week now, I left Zeth'Kur cause the GMs didn't reply for a month and the gold spam got so bad that I decided to leave the realm.

I'm considering an anti-spam addon, if anyone happens to know a one here?

Here is an addon that helps with chat whispers. I am not sure if there is anything that helps with in-game mail.

Thank you, it's not that in game whispers or mail do not really bother me that much.

What really does tho is that gold spamming is an increasing trend, a.k.a they breed like bed bugs and on Zeth at worst times I got like on whisper per 3 minutes, it really just makes the game unplayble, and I highly recommend for the devs to invent  a permanent solution for it, either your security question a.k.a CAPTCHA isn't working or you they do not have them enough.

For example could it be possible to make an in-game CAPTCHA for these folks? A whisper limit could be a good solution as well, I think it's coded in the MoP expansion, I do not have the means to access the MoP files tho in order to fetch it and add it to the open source core.
