Tho companies(MMOs) do say they are trying to get rid of spammers when actually they allow a few .

Although I didn't see this broadcast I can't believe that MMO's would benefit by allowing such annoyances to their playerbase. On the other hand, MMO's do benefit by allowing trial accounts which a percentage of turn into paying accounts and cost the company virtually nothing. By allowing current users to give out trial accounts, the MMO's get free advertising to boot.

Currently, one of the hurdles in addressing e-mail spam...is the fact that the game doesn't know if you are on a Trial or Regular account.

LH, I find this pill a little hard to swallow...if the game knows how many 3 month badges I have then it knows that I don't have a trial account.

Create a new badge: 1 Month with 2 new cool powers: email and tell

Heck, I would'ld mind one bit f you guys did a "quick" fix tomorrow and disabled all email capability in the game until a "final" solution is in place.

Draconian tatics such as that might just make more people use /stop_playing_to_snitch_on_jerk_hacker
