Account blocking?

I was just wondering what everyone thought of being able to block people on the account level rather than just the character? I get annoyed having to block who I suspect are the same people everyday on their new throw away characters while they blow up various local chats with terrible scams. One of my account has over 5800 people on the block list currently and it grows rapidly.

I also wonder if this is possible from a tech stand point or not so if anyone has insight into that it would be appreciated.

Thoughts, comments, concerns?

Yes this should absolutely happen.

Back in the day when you blocked someone in UO, on your list it would say 'The account of (turdburglar)'

Auto blocking based on a key word list that you can customise.

Doubling
Double
PLEX
OFFICER MOD

etc etc

Auto blocked 30 days, and a email to (turdburglar) you have been blocked by (soandso) for 30 days.

Because there is absolutely no way at all that an auto-blocking feature wouldn't block people who had nothing to do with Jita bot spam. You would end up with pretty much everyone in your block list. I also don't agree with account blocking if it's going to tell you the persons account name. Actually I don't agree with account blocking at all.

Could you elaborate why you think it is a bad idea at all? Personally I don't care if it actually tells me the account name so I would be fine if it did not give out that information and just showed the character names as normal.
