Screenshot. Or we have to asume it is a PEBKAC.Somehow they have now messed with the chat so when you ignore its not them you are ignoring, they now cant be ignored, EU megaserver in Glenumbra right now.

There are so many possible mistakes you could have made, it boggles the mind how you can even think they "hacked the chat".
the ignore right click works which only works on the real lines no? Will check though.
In all honesty, the game is so buggy that I wouldn't be surprised if they found a hole in it.

This text and the text of the other users keeps repeating, though it would be really ****** it they start putting in real names of legitimate players in there who gets banned instead of the real goldspammer
Furthermore I could click on all the 3 names
Ok so not hacked the chat so literally but certainly found a flaw in the chat to exploit.
Wish these guys would get it, they get ignored for a reason!

They've used this trick before.
But instead of
[spammer]
[fake name]
it is now
[spammer]
[fake name]
[fake name 2]
They just added another layer of fake text to confuse people.

I keep hearing people say and reading posts about how this was a smooth launch.
Even the people at Zenimax have said so.
Yet I see countless posts on the forums here daily, about people not being able to log in, the subscription BS, broken quests that prevent people from progressing, bots and gold sellers.
And now they start doing this?
This game should never have been released when it was, it should still be in beta, and it dont look like much is being done to stop this either.
Zenimax is only being reactive, rather than proactive.
Instead of thinking ahead and trying to prevent things from happening, they wait until things go wrong and then they fix it.
Maybe in a year this will be a good game, unfortunately by then it will be far too late, most people will have left and the game will have gone F2P, most likely also P2W for them to be able to even sustain the game for the few people who do play it.

To be fair, they are not hacking the game or anything of the sort. They're just using a clever tactic that makes it appear as though the names can't be clicked and ignored. Those names are simply decoys, where the real spammer lies in the lines above.
[real spammer] <bunch of empty spaces to create a false line of text below>
[fake decoy name] <gold spam here>

I never said anything about hacking, I never even mentioned the word.
I know what they are doing, but it dont make it any less annoying and frustrating for legitimate players.
I was talking about how Zenimax waits until there is a problem before they even begin to do anything about it, rather than try to think ahead and then try to prevent it from being a problem in the first place.
It should never have been possible for it to be possible to do something like what is described here in the first place, there is no reason for anyone to have that many spaces before they type anything.
Make it so there can be max 5 spaces before a sentence and the problem is solved, I dont see how that is difficult to do.
