Today, people are repeatedly spamming messages that clear Jita local. It is making the channel useless. Now, I suppose its only current use is to find scams to be taken in by, but even that use is lost.

There must be something that can be done, like not allowing consecutive linefeeds, etc.

Jita is the only system in the game that really suffers from this, trying to balance all of chat around one single system is a bad idea. And most people who have spent any time in Jita have learned to just block anyone who's doing that to eliminate the issue.

I've spent plenty of time in Jita. This guy was very hard to block because of the amount and size of the spam. And I sincerely doubt that limiting the number of consecutive linefeeds would in any way cause difficulty for normal communications.

Actually you can block those spammers, it's a player driven content so CCP is not supposed to do whatever. Version 1

Version 2 says that CCP should have ban those but, if they can make of a bad person a good person...yadayada Lol

My version says that they should implement more UI options, far more than there are now like select local by standings, chat by standings, convo/mail by standings etc, and this just a start for much more funcky stuff.
