He should remove local altogether to counter the AFK scamming menace!
We all have spent time in a hub and the case of the AFK scammer have made the experience a horror to behold. Every transaction, every contract and every act you do needs to be carefully checked 3 times over for missing digits, spelling errors and other tricks, and even then the best of people still loses money.
Now, I have nothing against scamming myself, however the AFK scammer just bot spams on local at ZERO risk to himself and takes ZERO effort for MASSIVE REWARDS. It is amazing how a few bad apples can terrorize thousands at once and render trade an very dangerous thing without actually talking to people and get them to send them isk to double it, or open a trade window and be vulnerable to counter scams. The existence of AFK scammers is unbalanced with respect to the rest of both honest traders and skilled scammers and therefore is to the detriment to the game.
I propose a new mechanics where stations would eject pilots if the spam the same message too much over time so we could log into your suicide trial alt and pod them repeatedly.
Of course, the bigger problem is local. He should remove local altogether to counter the AFK scamming menace!
