WookieePower Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I only get annoyed if the spammer doesn't include the 1 credit also with the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioware will take care of it from there. Do you report them as spam?? If not, you are part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkgryphon Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 At the guild summit they did say they had something like a team of 30 that is dedicated to eradicating credit spammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what has been released about how Legacy will work, I am expecting that the people that sell credits will have a huge increase in sales once 1.2 goes live.

Kulyok Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah, that in-game mail is rather annoying. By the way, how do I report them for spam? There's no "report" button, and though I know to use /ignore, I'd like to report them, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobishlord Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah, that in-game mail is rather annoying. By the way, how do I report them for spam? There's no "report" button, and though I know to use /ignore, I'd like to report them, as well. Just right click the mail and select report. You can then report for spam or harassment. However, do note that reporting for spam does not block the person. They may re-send you a mail, and you'll still get it. Unfortunately.

Technohic Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Old thread. 1.2? Yeah, that in-game mail is rather annoying. By the way, how do I report them for spam? There's no "report" button, and though I know to use /ignore, I'd like to report them, as well. right click the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bultitudes_Loke Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 When you open the mail, there's a 'report' button on the top right. You can choose spam or harrasment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounds Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 there will always be credit sellers, no way of completely getting rid of them. i get one every few days and report it! there done as long as people buy it there will be spammers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kholvan Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Silver lining though - if the price was $8 100 days ago, their demand must really be suffering. I'm getting $3 spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 This problem takes more than 3 years and nobody did anything with that ...spammers still feel great. This is ridiculous and pathetic at the same time. It beats the spam we've seen the past 3-years. I can easily ignore an in-game mail...especially when the cheapskates don't include a freaking credit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaShuk Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I report for spam/block user, etc. but then I have 2-3 more come in the next day advertising the same web address for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightblazer Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 All you can do is keep marking it as spam. BW does monitor it both from mail and when people do it from the chat. They've removed them before and will continue to do so, but like they've said in the past, they prefer to take down the whole company or large ring of people vs just on an individual basis like they stated in the below thread. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=810937 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolose Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I report for spam/block user, etc. but then I have 2-3 more come in the next day advertising the same web address for it. Same here the other day I had 8 in my mail all from the same gold spammer company all labeled with different names this **** is getting old I think they just need to stop letting f2p players able to send mail till at least level 30 or so and it would die off..

SavantDreadtech Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I also flag them as spam, not that it seems to have any effect at all. Get same thing next time I log on just a different name, most likely the same people sending all the same. not sure what the answer is, banning just means they re-join with different name, could ban I.P address but there are ways around that. So what can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowzGreymoon Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I log into various names that haven't been on for a while and get up to 10 messages from these credit spammers. Amazing at how they are able to send me something when offline for days, even weeks at a time. On all the servers I play on too. I report them for spam, then ignore them, but still doesn't help when you're getting spammed to death on names that are idle for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
