If they are using hide, they aren't doing it very well because i have ignored ones in the tutorial every day this week.
as for ones in zone, I very rarely see any posts and since I started ignoring them, I have had no mail messages.
so , they may be sticking some on hide but not many.

That's just one hour last night, none of the accounts showed up in the social UI and all of them were spamming zone chat.
That isn't the kind of hiding that is a problem, they can still be found on the social UI, at least that particular batch of characters was easy to sniff out and report.
Maybe two different spammers at work, one is smarter than the other or maybe somedays the same spammer is just lazy.
Are they using the pidgin chat link? I didn't think that could go to zone chat.
Maybe they are just running an exec file that goes to hidden mode when they start up.
Disable hidden mode, or auto- boot any account trying to enter it...
Or
Remember that scene in TRON where Clu gets captured and derezzed by the MCP?
Do it like that. I mean send unmanned aerial vehicles to the address associated with the spamming IP address and snatch anything alive out of the building, then interrogate them and ...absorb all their functions.
I bet something like that happens in the next TRON movie. Do it first!

Still, whoever really buys stuff from them ... well, it's his/her own fault if being banned for that.

That is the equivlenant of saying "I don't leave my house and participate in voting, because of party X's advertisements on TV."
Or "I don't walk around my neighborhood and meet my neighbors because some Big Tobacco has a sign on the side of a shop on the corner."
Or "I pretend to be a hero, but can't be bothered to report a repugnant nuisance to improve my online game community."
All I can do is sigh at this, not even a role play sigh, a real one.
Nobody is buying anything, these are scammers, they are identity thieves, they are malware hosts.
About the zone chat ... you got the underline, didn't you? It's ONE reason, why i ignore zone. there're other reasons, too.
