I am sorry bump/re-open a topic that has been deemed resolved, but I believe something was left unexplained.
The following thread was posted to suggest a remedy for Marketplace spamming. In post #9 Grep Rimmer indicates there is a filter system available already. This prompted the OP to call for the thread to be closed. I am aware of this filter system and use it frequently, but I do not see how it can be used to remedy the issue of spam in the marketplace. Because I may may be missing something, could someone please explain how this filter system could be used to avoid having to weed through multiple pages of small trade offerings. For example, a few months back in Calydon one player posted 20+ pages worth of 100unit trade requests. This was not a small player who needed to use small trade amounts. These trades were left up in the marketplace for well over a week, so he was not hiding resources from an attack. Most definitely these trades were posted with the express purpose to annoy other players.
