In another move against gold farmers, Blizzard has announced that 76,000 accounts were closed and 11 million gold removed from the game during the month of September. And while Blizzard's efforts in this direction haven't halted gold farming or selling (evidenced by adverts in my in-game mailbox as recently as yesterday), they show no sign of halting their own efforts. If you see a player you suspect to be bot-farming, Blizzard encourages you to report them to the Hacks Team via an in-game help request or use of their e-mail form. You probably won't get instant gratification, but all reports do get investigated. 
In their continued effort to rid Azeroth of hackers and gold farmers, Eyonix announced this evening that 59,000 accounts were closed during the month of June for terms of use violations. Have you seen anyone behaving suspiciously on your server? An account that's being controlled by a bot isn't too difficult to spot if you spend a bit of time paying attention - and Blizzard investigates all reports. So if you suspect such behavior, report it to a GM, and help the community be rid of the annoyance of hackers and bot farmers.
