You happen to be in a large guild, so you ask your guildies to please report that guy for spamming and, after 20 reports, he is silenced and can't advertise his stuff anymore, allowing you to sell your items.

Alternatively you just don't like person y, so you and your guild decide to 'troll' them by reporting them over and over. That'll show 'em!

Meh. If only MMO communities weren't full of awful.
Yeah, that's the biggest problem with allowing the community to police itself. My thinking is that Bioware can remove the right of people to report spammers and punish abusers if this happens, but your concern is also one I have with a system like this.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Which would be too much trouble for them as they would all get obliterated by the gamers. It would be a new thing, just to get these guys. If they have a software that creates the bots, they still need someone to level them up to get to the fleet. It would be too much trouble. They would be dealing with thousands of players instead of one or few Bioware employees following up on spam reports. Bioware has an army and doesnt even know.

I'm slowly starting to realize that I might be getting trolled here. If so, props to you, you're very convincing. If you're, by any chance, not trolling: Ahahaha.

My ideas have been getting laughed at in these forums since 2010 probably 2009, dont remember when I opened my account. But since then SWTOR is now F2P. We got GSF. We're getting housing. And hopefully they will also fix the chairs. All ideas I have been pushing and helping others push which were once laughed at.

Even my idea for Age of Empire's War Chiefs got laughed at. And Microsoft eventually came out with that expansion pack back in 2005 only that I had originally called it AOE III: Colonial Resistance. But it was my idea, and I was the largest voice to push that idea.

It's all good. Laughing is good for the soul.

The only thing to be done is not to purchase from them. That's the only thing that will stop them. Some silly nerd army isn't going to do it, they'll figure a way around it. Nope, the only thing that will stop them is to not buy from them.
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

Hehe, I'm alive, if just. Super busy at work, way too many new people in our IT department. It's worse than herding cats. It's like trying to herd cats over the internet.
