The much long awaited and hopefull end to the masses of Jita auto repeat spammers?

I look forward to a great reduction of these accounts. Repeat the same thing every 300 seconds all day long, should be easy as pie to catch and ban them. Making Jita local almost useful again.

It's been years since I've been able to go to jita without minimizing local.

Spam bots are going no where because they aren't enforced even though EULA has restricted it for 11 years.

I would believe the admin tools that will be used for identifying the automation tools will group the spammers into the same category. Hopefully either by design or accidently they will get into the list and they will be taken care of. Ridding us all of this annoyance that has plagued us for over a decade.

My grand mother used to say that if wishes were horses beggars would ride, and if cow **** was candy, I'd eat til I died.

Will I get banned for boxing!?!?!

Chribba has had a web site script running for at least a couple years that can identify them. CCP doesn't seem to care about them because their load on the server is negligible.

They really do drive me mad, Jita is actually a good place to catch some deals but keeping up with the spam list is pretty intense.

It's a real shame there isn't a way to block messages containing certain words or phrases. Considering we can already do highlighting and asterisk-based censoring, as well as the current character-based blocking, something like this is theoretically possible, but Death only knows how CCP handle the entirety of the message itself.

At the end of the day, isn't that part of the charm of the phenomenon that is Jita? The raging torrent of cringe-worthy scams, the ripostes of the white knights wasting their fingerprints on ridiculing the art of isk fleecing?

Mind you, scammers will find a way, even if CCP got rid of the whole macro posting thing they've got going on... you think you've put them down, then 2 more appear to replace them.

What's more, I have an inkling that someone, somewhere, is hypnotising other players... "Look into my eyes, and repeat after me: I am the one true ISK doubler, everyone-else is a fraudster..."

I vote we simply take Jita Local chat and inject it into WH local chats.






Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Even better. We inject it to nullbear local chats and BOOM, no more whines about AFK cloaking.

Why do people like you thinks that scammers are the ones who bother us? it is the automation and semi automation that bother us.

It was not the bombers what bothered us. it was the semi-automation of whole fleet.

it is not scammers that bother us. it is the automation of their local posts

it is not the miners who bother us. it is the automation of their mining process.


CAN YOU UNDERSTAND IT NOW? !!!!

Going back to the OPs point for a moment here, I have a question: What is this new change that is going to affect client automation? From all the reading of blueposts I've been doing lately, there isn't one. Client automation has been banned for as long as Eve has been out. It is a 2 strike policy currently, a 30 day ban, then a permanent. If you think the client broadcasting change affects chat bots, you may want to just put down the computer for a bit, it's beyond your comprehension.

Oh please do this! Can you imagine the tears!

That aside, right-click and block does wonders to improve Jita local.

I haven't used any filters available in the ingame chatter, but I recommend checking out what these filters can do.

I'm fairly sure they do care as there was a serious cull of Jita spamming a year or so ago
