why not join a player corp and make some friends? then you wont care about local
I don't want to be in a player corp as it negatively affects my main playstyle, and I have other channels I chat to people in. Why should local be something people have to work around though rather than embrace?

simple limit to the number of times you're allowed to hammer out an advertisement in local would do that.
Spam filters are easy enough to bypass, you just have a series of adverts that are different enough from each other to slip through the filter, imposing a max messages per x wouldn't help either, also, when i'm in jita its normally a number of people all spamming different things which makes chat scroll by so the filter wouldn't even be that useful, also, just ignore local, i barely use it outside of when i'm sitting in null doing relic sites :P
You can easily bypass the swear filter on the forum too. Most people don't. Why not? Rule enforcement. Having a spam filter and a rule against it, even something rudimentary, would stop most of the spam simply because people would opt not to do it. It is lots of people but those lots of people spam a lot themselves as they want to get their spam back on screen, so they end up spamming every few seconds.

I find most of the scams to be entertaining. plus you never know when someone will say something useful. my policy is to just not block people.
