Anyway to ignore /e and mailbox gold spammers?

[Malagus 0]

Obviously we all work hard to ignore gold spammers but lately they have changed tact. Sending you mail with extremely obvious gold website links and now, spamming /e (emotes) advertising their "services". This is, simply put, harassment and it should be treated as such. When I ignore a player, I should NEVER receive any type of message from them ever. Is it possible to change the ignore feature to include /e spammers and mailers?

For all the inevitable comments saying such things as "What did you expect on a private server" or "Stop looking" or crap like that, I say the following: it is disheartening to see such blatant and obvious gold spammers in the heart of all the major cities. I understand that such ones are banned when found but is there really no way to automate this process? The moment a player sends a piece of mail with (insert generic gold farming website here) in it, couldn't it instantly be trashed? The moment a player spams /e with an extremely obvious gold buying message, couldn't they instantly get banned?

Part of my frustration, and many other players is, we simply do not know how to handle gold spammers. Do we write an in-game ticket? Post on the forums? You guys do a great job of reminding us to use two-factor authentication (seriously though, every 10 minutes is a little much...) so how about switching up that automatic message telling us how to fight these awful gold spammers. We all want to see them gone and all of us will fight harder if we actually KNEW HOW TO FIGHT.

SpamThrottle Addon is an excellent tool for blocking gold spammers, but it doesnt help with the /e problem

Can we get a gm online physically banning these spammers, it will show the community and more importantly the spammers that staff cares.

When theres 7k+ online trying to read world chat is hectic enough. Also I think said gm would get genuine satisfaction from doing it. I know I would pop a beer and pat my own back.

I have a question too... about related problem. Any way to block emote goldspam or at least just turn off all of them BUT keep "say" chat(chat settings allow to disable them both at once only). And yes, im using latest version of ST. To GMs about mail: can you make a same thing you done with a whisper function? Some kind of switch to receive [ALL mails\friends and AH only].

You want Laytya's fork for SpamThrottle, not the original SpamThrottle from a couple of years back. The current version, 1.16a, added emote spam filtering.

As for GMs online banning accounts: it's done constantly. Scroll back through announcements and you'll see messages about the numbers of accounts and thousands of gold that are being removed through bans.

Im using this one and emote spam still coming. It look like some linked item or ability in emote message. You know, yellow [something]. Also last version block many non-spam messages and im already told Laytya about it long time ago.
