That's a good point. Wonder if there's any kind of workaround. It sucks if GGG is actually that against JSP, considering they were D2 players from back in the day. I don't consider JSP to be real RMT. Literal in game spam to buy currency with real money is actually the problem, not JSP.
i dont consider jsp rmt either

to me rmt is direct buying of items for money, i mean okay ppl might have different definitions but if i use fictive currency to me it doesnt feel rmtish

although to be fair, i dont personally have anything against rmt or rmters either, im just against it because the damn ingame spambots annoy me

but yee, back when poe was starting ggg was like "yeeeah we dont really like jsp you know" but didnt do anything about it because most players used it. now they can go ham because most players dont use jsp
as for workarounds, i use the bro approach. i mean i use that when i trade as well, never been banned (well okay ive been banned multiple times, but never for that

). basically this is how my usual trade chat looks like:
- broooo its me, ... (always use a non white name, something like alejandro/mutahar/deshawn are perfect), remember me? we used to play years ago
- ofc bro, hows it going?
- all good bro! listen bro, sorry we cant catch up, boss called me, seems my vacation is over. will be back in a month or so!
- sorry to hear that bro! hows the game going bro?
- all good bro, i made myself a whole tab of uniq jewels, now i dont wanna id them cause no time to use, feelsbadman
- damn bro
- bro, wanna try yourself? maybe ur lucky?
- ty bro, will do!etc etc! then they literally cant do shit to you, theres no evidence that you did anything and if they actually ban you, just pm them something like "is this because im black" and complain about racism. im not even joking, i did this once (i pretended im gay and they said sorry and reversed their decision)
