Global chat spamming RMT websites

I am so sick of seeing these spammers come on and spam their websites and prices for POE items.

Couldn't GGG make it to you have to be level 5 or 10 to chat global or something?

this is getting bad....

what are some ideas that you guys think would be a good way to deal with these people? (besides just saying "just ignore them dude")

If you report them to support they can be destroyed quickly and very thoroughly.

Thats the thing, they hit and run. They create a character that has a name of random letters, spam a site for a straight up 3 seconds and then are gone. There is nothing to report because it's a throw away character that I am sure is using some type of proxy. These aint players who are doing this.

It would be a circle jerk of Wack A Mole if you tried to do this player at a time...

Oh, right. Yeah, that would be support getting to them, not them running away. Player reports do improve that response time though.

Maybe it would help if signing up for POE required an extra layer of security or account validation? Like for example a phone number for contact/sms verifcation or maybe having to enter a valid home address or something.

Just throwing ideas out there, should be possible to force most generic spammerbots with some method like this.

I really wish I could have some of whatever GGG smoke.

Its like they are still 100% completely new to the internet and had no idea how evil the place would actually be.
