As for jita bots, 8 x right click "block" and all is well

Duh the easy way to get CCP to fix botting is to make bots that spam every forum page. Get 10 of your eve buddies make a few accounts and trash the forums. One plex well spent, the irony is that you got you can afford to do this from your RMT null sec isk bot.

But....CCP likes scam-bots.
If people get scammed out of ISK, they rage and buy Plex, that then drops precious IRL cash in CCP's pocket.

Cheers for the links Chribba. ^^^^

And to anyone coming in this thread saying "leave local" or "block list?" please just shut the **** up. Some people want to be in jita and the second you block one then another one spawns.

How hard is it to just add a session timer hyperlinks in chat channels? You can only hyperlink once every 2 minutes. Problem solved.

EDIT, look at the counter for the most spammed message in Local at the moment... SOmebody has spammed a contract about Plexes 8500 times?!?

maybe a page that uses your spam stats to gather a list of spammer chars and then calls the IGB javascript Block function on all the characters in bulk?

although since you can only make one IGB javascript call per second that might take a while to run Shocked

I'm beginning to wonder if there's an upper limit to the block list? 'Cause I've been a blocking monster. Sometimes I manage to get far enough ahead of the spambots that I can discern actual conversation threads between real people.

But mostly, any more, I just ignore Jita Local channel.

http://eve-live.com/stats/Jita is pretty much what you look for - not saying they are all bots but you gotta be doing something to be on the top...

Maybe when they finally get off their behinds and do something about bots in the busiest system in game the result
could be that there would be enough room in Jita for everyone who wanted to get in without hitting the user limit.

It's a f* disgrace.

Maybe as simple as ejecting spammers into a near-by system. In space. With a criminal flag.
Would discourage human spammers as well as the bots.

Would take all day to block that many. Bottom line is if its not legal for one it should not be legal for any.

This annoys me as well, though I notice it's mainly contracts that are being spammed. So I made a suggestion to add a 1-2 minute cooldown between each contract post on local chat.

You seem to be contradicting yourself. This is a dozen people spamming the same message, not someone spamming new accounts. It shouldn't be too hard to block them all. Posting on the forums would have been harder than blocking them.

Also, "oops I posted the wrong link, I'll post the right one... in 2 minutes".

Its not just that these botters are spamming Jita local (its already useless) it is that they are taking up the limited number of population slots in Jita making it harder to get in the system.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Bcause if it were not so overrun with 'bots, real people could use it effectively.

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?

Jita has local?

I hope not, I'm somewhere over 8,600 blocked and don't want to erase it to cleanse all the spambots that have been biomassed over the years.
