I believe that auction spamming is more or less starting to become an issue. For the nth time tonight I have seen Bids going on for as long as 5 minutes at sky-high prices and few of them did people actually bid on.

So these are my ideas on how to define auction spamming (auction griefing)

Definition: an auction spam/grief can be identified by a item being sold at a non viable price for an extended period of time (i.e. preventing other people from starting more reasonably priced auctions).

Further definition: The aforementioned auction is several times its shop worth or shop buyable components worth with no fixed person set on buying it. Meaning no-one is likely to buy it.

Appropriate action: Ask the bidder to lower the bid price or time (or both), if offense is repeated suspend auctioning privileges or other appropriate measures.

how i believe these rules will help the server: by keeping the server auction spam free and helping people who may have unintentionally made a bid too high without knowledge of the items true value. In order to keep the auction plugin a steady going, efficient and constant trading tool.
