The only way to combat it is to page GM's in the game under the verbal harrasing. If everybody on every shard did this mutiple times they would be slammed with complaints.
Then if you get threatened by a GM for making mutiple complaints about the spammer then I would come here and complain to the great Mesanna in threads.
If Mesanna does nothing nothing about it slam Jeff on his twitter about it. The fact is ignore feature does not work when you have mutiple character names being changed and logging out and coming back with a new one. Who ever invented that script needs to be kicked in the arse with a sharp pointed boot. The same program is used in other EA games.
Then again, EA/ Bioware wants that money and they allow spamming in their other games. They say they can't combat it but we know that is a lie. They dont want to put the time and resources into it which really means it would costs money.
These spamming accounts are paid and are not free trial accounts. So as a normal player you can get banned for saying something stupid in general chat but the spammer is advertising a service so that is ok by Bioware/EA and the whole UO dev team. The spammers money is just as good as the regular joe and janes that play the same games by EA/Bioware and the UO dev team. Yah I said that last statement.
Not hard to change a ToS stating that advertising is forbidden and can be held liable if done so, by bannings, IP blocks, ect ect. We also know how that goes when they never enforced their old ToS with other issues.
It's a lose lose situation but I know for one if I am going to be aggrovated or distracted by a spammer may as well let the developers feel my pain also
signs on to twitter.....................
