SPAM SPAM SPAM. It's beyond ridiculous. Fix it already.

Mostly, I'd like some options that didn't involve me having to make sure I put all my alts on all my other alts friends-lists.

Here here! Besides, why would i want a noob like me on my friends list anyway? i'd never be online when i want to play, anyway.

I suppose, since there's still crime, that policemen in real life are also pointless?

Don't be a ****, MT.

Could you add cut and paste to the spam reporting form, at least the name please.

Additionally, I think once someone gets banned for spamming, you guys should go through and delete every mail message from that person as well. You might even cut into their operation a bit as well by deleting some plat/item mails as well.

An easy to create CSO tool, add notification if email has attachment. Might also identify mules.

Combined with removing the abiltity to cut and paste into the body section (make them type out each email individually) of the email dialog and spam would disappear.

EDIT: Need a client side solution, so no additional load on server.

A filter would place a lot of load on the server (is all server side).

Every email would have to (in addition to normal functionality);
get the list of permitted senders,
search the list of permitted senders,
filter email.

These searches might only take additional milliseconds...multiplied by how many emails per server per second?
