I've added a section with suggested filters to the guide, with examples on how to block the (current) common cred seller domain names.

I've also added a link the original Friday with Means post in the footer.

Will I need to do this for every toon or just once on each account?

As far as I can remember, any chat related settings are character bound. So you'd have to do it for every new character.

They're actually shared between all characters across all accounts :)

If you have a second AO installation, e.g. new engine and old engine, you'd have to redo the filters there though.

Thank you for all of the input. I added a filter for the latest spammers to a few toons in the first few hours of play time and within a day I haven't seen any spam from him/her across all accounts. I'm thinking that it may have took a day for the filter to spread across all accounts or until I had logged off for the day.

Just a little update to add the latest cred seller to the filter list :)
