Thank you ZOS for autoclearing the /ignore list of banned accounts!

I saw in the third of this mornings (8 May 2014) server maintenance posts at forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/94671/eso-maintenance-na-server-5-8-complete, that you are now automatically clearing our ignore lists of banned accounts. As someone who reported their ignore list filled up from ignoring gold sellers this is much appreciated. Thanks!

Fantastic news.

nimbli

Yes, that is very cool. Good move.

Arwyn

Will also be very visual to see how many disappear.... colour me intrigued.

Only removed 5. Most of the random gibberish names are still on my ignore list, including the gibberish01, 02, 05, and 08 varieties.

Some of mine were random rainbow text spammers but the rest and majority were gold spammers.

The fact that theyre still there tells me not all of them have been banned. Why? You advertize that gold site, you get banned. End of story.

Yeah I still have a ton of the spambots' names on my ignore list. I know this because I write down each name as I block it.

So basically none of the goldseller spambots have been banned?

I only have 30 left on there, considering the amount of reports and ignore I had, I can tell you a fair amount got banned

It is full again.

1st of all kudos to Zeni for this service. I actually didn´t expect them to insert such a script into to the maintenance.

2nd of all, stop using the damn ignore list guys!
Install X4Ds chat filter addon and ignore only the leftovers from that!

And 3rd you don´t immediately ban every gold seller. Only amateurs do this.
Instead this is done in waves, so that their networks can be figured out and banned in whole.

I shouldn't need an addon to do what they should have been doing from the start.

Live chat monitoring would be a start. Invisible GMs roaming the countryside, banning bots without announcing their presence would be another.

I'm confused, you need an addon for what, blocking gold sellers? I never needed an addon for it, and i have barely any spam from them, and I've been playing since day 1 of 5 days early access.

to each his own kinda thing though i guess, you know? I just know I've played atleast 5+ hrs a day since the game launched, and it hasn't been that bad in order for me to have to download an addon. If they bug ya that bad, well i dont even know how to respond to that, as its a simple click away to ignore one. And i say that with the utmost respect.

Yes Thank you so much, I was at my max of 100 ignore and was wondering if any of the old Gold Spammers got banned so that I can remove them from my list to make room for more ignores.... Now its all fixed for me. =^,.,^=

This one has Thanks ... Many to give!

Understand now, Reign?

And the spam is mostly Stonefalls(I'm Ebonheart) and mostly at night when the GMs are all sleeping. Every 2 to 3 seconds a new one. They're barely readable as they're being formatted to bypass most filter addons. One will spam for a little while and then another one will take over.

It's so bad that I don't go to the zone anymore.
