Suggestion: Email spam block

As we are getting more and more spam in the ingame mail box. I would like to suggest the following:

If 10 people mark a persons emails as spam. ALL mail sent from the persons account should be quarentined untill NWE has looked into the problem.

This way a spammer could only send 10 emails, before getting blocked and having to level another character. The best thing is that only 10 persons would have to see the spam messages.

Right now I believe all sent emails is still in peoples inboxes untill read, even if the sender is banned for sending spam.

Currently the spammer only has to get to level 4 to send emails. If this was raised to level +10, this solution would be even more effective.

This should be possible to implement as all spam is located at the same physical server at NWE, unlike real life spam that is scattered over millions of servers.

    I think a better option would be a way to set it so I can *only* receive emails from the AH, admins, friends, and guildmates. Anyone else should get a message that I am not accepting emails. Of course, legitimate promotional emails, like those from Lord Neverember containing promotional items, should *not* be blocked.

    This I like. It's similar to how personal messaging and email settings on some forums work and gives the power to the recipient to choose what they receive.

    I would like to see tabs in the mail box, like a real e-mail system, with a list of old sent mail, like of read/unread mail...

    Make the mail box have a ''friend mail'' ''system mail'' ''unknow mail'' ''guild mail''.. This could work nicely!

    Deleting a ingame mail without having actually to read it
    Having toggles to choose who (anyone-guildies-friendlist) can email you
    Getting a chinese farmer banned and his mails deleted when reported as a spammer by several players.

    Many people have made already these simple, efficient, constructive suggestions in many threads.
    But noooooo.

    Its a lot of coding to do those ''simple'' change. They most likely have a lot on their hands. Chance are they saw this suggestion but they cant fullfil all demands as soon as they come. They probably have a list of stuff to do that are more important that the mail system .

    Perfect World International doesn't have this problem.

    Why does Neverwinter?
