Time to add a spam filter.

As we all may know, anyone in the top 10 was spammed mercilessly by a bunch of immature kids. Can we please implement a spam filter for private messages. Better yet, give us the option to ignore all characters on one account. This would solve the issue of being repeatedly spammed by a bunch of morons...

Agree.

They should try and IP ban them as well if its possible

Ignore does cover whole account.

I doubt there are many left that don't know how to get around ip bans.

MAC address maybe?

Won't help if they use a proxy.

Wow, then people went through hell and back to make the effort of continuously creating and spamming

Flood control needs to be added for a start. I was honestly embarrassed for the spammers tonight.

The ideal solution:
- Rate limitations on the server for the actions being abused (whispers, invites, requests).
- Client sided ignore list, to remove the existing server list limitations.
- Client sided option to disable all PMs from being shown (except Dev/Mod).
- Client sided option to only show PMs from people on the Friend List.
- Likewise for everything else (party invites, friend requests, toggle to allow all, or deny all, etc...)

The server sided rate limitations take care of excessive spam, and anything else that is getting through that people don't want, can be toggled with the appropriate option.
