I dont mind scammers. Infact I would'nt have my Jita without it. I think it's a part of eve.

But this "player" have been spamming Jita local for the last 10 days 23/7 every 3-5 second. I know for a fact that people have been talking in Jita local about this person as a spambot so I find it hard to believe this has not been petitioned. If not a bot then at least ban this "player" for continuous spamming. Im not going to mention any names but anyone who spends more than 10 mins in Jita would know who im talking about.

So I guess my question is does CCP now allow bot spamming?

Any chance of you doing a new update of your "six months in Jita" sometime Chribba ? would be interesting to see if much has changed in the months since then.

things changed, it gotten worse of course. even more spam/bots now than it was then heh. But yeah prolly will be another one sometime. But it's too early now and as far as I can see, CCP hasn't done anything since that publication back in October.

The block feature works ya know. Sure, would be nice to have CCP do something about the spam bots, but until they do, just block them. Blink

Im starting to think this is infact some kind of test by CCP themselves. If so CCP please make it stop, you have my unconditional surrender. :whiteflag:

I've got something new in the works as well though that will combat the spam more until CCP actually starts doing something Smile

Makes one wonder if a "text spam blocking bot" would be within the EULA...

this.

I sure as hell hope it gets banned too! If there's one thing more annoying than the spambots themselves, it's the pilots that think they help by posting like that.

For the very simple reason that the spambots are swiftly right-click-blocked - anti-spam forces you to try and scroll back at which time he posted again making you out of the scroll loop again.

I agree. Blocking the bots is easy but it does me no good when legitimate pilots make the chat roll by like a slot machine anyway with their responses and taunts of the bots. You can't offend a program. All you can do is amplify the harm it does.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.
