Tangentially related. I just wanted to take a moment to make sure you all are aware of the forum policy on RMT spammers. It's essentially this: "shoot on sight".
We don't allow selling of accounts, items, in game money, or anything tied to a game account for real money. Selling an in game sword for in game currancy? Thats fine. But anything that deals with RMT or pay powerleveling or anything of the sort, we ban, no exceptions, no appeals. That includes people posting blog links that are obvious fronts for gilspammers, etc.
So, if you see it anywhere here on the site, report it. You should also not ever see a gilseller banner ad anywhere on the site, though we have had an occasional one of those slip by in the past from the third party ad providers. if you see one, it isn't intentional, report it and we'll get it removed immidiatly.
We also continually add knwon RMT sites to the forum filters. If you ever see a <cannotlinkto> that isn't a specific example like that one was in an admin thread, its probably a spam attempt, and you'll want to report it.
I currently ban about 6 such gilspammers myself from this particular segment of the forum every day, which doesn't include the ones the other Admins kill before I get a chance. They are a plague, and removing them is one of the more satisfying and enjoyable aspects of the job. Anything we can do to help improve our response time to remove spammers is a good thing, so if you have any ideas along those lines, feel free to let us know!
