The lastest patch update includes the long awaited IGNORE_SPAMMER command.
This command will put the target on Ignore and notify support that you consider the person a spammer. This command can be used for people spamming in Broadcast or for real money trade website advertisements or other things.
The syntax for it is:
/ignore_spammer name
Where name is the name of the person spamming. Idealy, you should follow it up with a /petition as well to notify support more quickly, however it's not totally necessary.
The notes can be found here: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/patch_notes.html

What is really funny, is that I have already been able to use it this. I logged on after the patch update, read it in the message of the day, and 10 minutes later I received a spam about buying influence. /ignore_spammer name and done.
I have a feeling these will start to go away once the free trial offers are done for the month.

The influence spammers were getting pretty bad on triumph. I made the mistake of telling them of the petition i was sending against them, they just flooded my chatwindow with their advertisements till I finally put them on ignore. This should be quite helpfull.

This is one of the good things about CoH not being as popular as WoW. Even though we get some influence spammers, it's NOTHING compared to the Goldspammers on WoW. They were a part of why I don't play anymore.

For the first couple of lines or so, I could have sworn it was a joke. XD
I thought it was just your sarcastic little way of saying "I'm fed up with Spammers."
Here in Europe, where we eat snails, build leaning towers, and do various other silly things, the worst spamming we get is;
"[Broadcast]DJ Aero: Tune into Radio Aero for some Bangin' Choons at www.somerandomsite.co.uk/aero"
every couple of hours.
and I don't mind it very much. =]

Studies show that 92% of teens listen to rap. If you are part of the 8% that listens to real music the add this to your signature.

I wish we could say the same.
Here in the states, we get things like:

I've probably sent 20 petitions for this in the last month alone. It really is annoying, even worse than in my email. At least there i can install a spam filter, lol. This will make it much easier and simpler to report them.
