I hate to bring this up, but i like to earn it and enjoy the game without having someone giving me alkinda junks or buy things for cash. I know there some would do it, probably because they are lazy. Anyway i was doing a mission and discover the mailbox in Memory Alpha, the box was full of gold spammers

How you guys going to deal with them? Banned them would be nice.

Use the "REport Spam" function, either here or in-game. That blocks the sender of the spam - and all their characters. Just remember to manually delete the messages after they successfully report - you'll see a blue message in chat that "TRIBBLE@TRIBBLE has been reported" before you delete the message. Doing it here onthe Web site deletes automatically. The chat server in-game can be somewhat laggy with system commands
In the in-game chat window, you can right-click on the spammer's name and do the same - it has the same effect, and also has the same not-always-immediate lagginess - just keep doing it until the blue message comes up.
Report Spam doesn't just block 'em - it also notifies the GMs to review the logs - and if they are indeed spamming, to permaban 'em. Also, if enough people report them, they're automatically silenced - which of course is a clue to dsaid spammer to delete that account.
Eventually the spammers will stop - ESPECIALY once people realize how easy it is to get credits, and stop buying 'em. No market = no spammers, after all - there's only so much retroactive action (such as reporting) can do.
Once trying becomes unprofitable (they're spending more to get accounts than they make in credit sales), they'll go away.
I would only add that the "Report Spam" function in game is ONLY for reporting sellers/advertisers. Using it to silence a player who's behaving objectionably is a violation of the rules. "Spamming" fleet recruiting or any other message is not to be reported with the "Report Spam" function.
For those people, file a report and use the Ignore function, not the Report Spam function.
Then that means that our reporting has not been in vain. Stay alert captain.
just type /whitelist and it will give you the options although watch out for the private tell one as if you join a group they cant talk to you
Spamming is spamming, if you are fleet spamming incessantly, you get reported as well, that is still spam.
While many people agree with you (including me), I'm just reporting what the devs have said here in these very forums. Using the "Report Spam" chat function for anything other than commercial spam is verboten. We're supposed to use the regular reporting functions for chat abuse, etc.
with 230 grains of.......indifference
Considering that I haven't seen that info (regular forum goer that I am), only a small percentage of people playing the game even bother coming to the forum, they have no sticky on the subject and the button says "report spam" not "report gold spam only". I will keep on keeping on...
If they change the rules, they need to post it prominently where people can see it...
Hey! I give them all your info too!
Of course I then strap them to an old hulk and shoot them into the nearest star for a short, sun-filled vacation. Just to show how happy they have made me.
I don't. I ONLY give them his SSN. They have to do the rest of the legwork themselves.
They already have all our SSNs, the illegals sell them to the gold farmers after they use them to get jobs.
