    Yep, after spamming its website link a while, it changed to wts emp thingy and randomly type random letter. Blocking did the charm but , this bot leave lots of negative impression to newbies aka real money trader / p2w / worse economy in game / not worth playing.

    if eme had someone or multiple someones that they trusted enough to grant the power to block people from the game while the regular employees are off work, and then they let them know what all happened and gave screenshots, I think that would curb many spammers. for instance, lets say counterpoint is playing the game for 12 hours at night every night, and kubitoid pm's counterpoint and tells them that a botter is in velika on av server, counterpoint goes there, takes screenshots, kicks them from the game and blocks them until the next morning and halreth checks his inbox and sees everything and perma bans the botters. maybe give some incentives to the people helping.
    I know the power can be abused, but the power would only be for botters , and no one else.

    also if the people eme chooses are reliable, then maybe they can offer them free elite or something for compensation. maybe they can choose from the player council memebers.

    No, giving any sort of mod power to a layman player is the epitome of stupidity.

    that's why I said someone that eme trusted enough. eme could interview people like a real job. I imagine some would do it for free elite status as long as they are working. I ave seen it done in other games and while I only saw 1 time where one of the people were abusing the power, that Monday morning the game company let that person go and perma banned them from playing.
    eme could get a copy of their photo i.d., home address and so on. there are many that would do it for free, or for in game items.
    if nothing else, have a few council members that play many hours a day, have acess to an email that a staff member from eme would check through out the weekend and then see the screenshots and ban the botters.
    the point is, if there is a way for eme to ban bots nearly as quick as they are made, then people will give up.

    I see the idea more of like a part-timer type of job. What was proposed is getting someone who can be trusted, and of course, if proven untrustworthy, revoke abilities or more if needed (like perma-ban for power harassment or such). Works pretty much the same as jobs in real life, just payment methods are different and work load is different as well.

    Even a part time job requires a CV, a criminal background check, face to face interview and personality assessment.

    In short if EME care enough (and there's no real reason why they should), they can put one of their own staff on the job like they have done in the past, and not bother with some weird self-important parody of a 'community leader' who takes the in game chat too seriously.

    @kubitoid You going against the rules of the forums (naming someone... or something in this case), you gotta open a ticket, wait 2 weeks for mEME to reply and see the bot get on a new name within a few mins after. That's how system work, they refuse (I asked them) to actually take care of it.

    do spam bots count as players? I wouldn't think they would count as far as the rules go.

    Spam bot is a "player". It is just another program to act substitutes to human, ie; controlling its movement, chat room and many more.
