The tab cannot be deleted. The Auction channel depends on the server side so that it can connect people from all over a planet (whichare several servers each).

Or, another option could be to change the Auction chat so that you can only speak in it from new "Merchant Pavilions", kindof like the ID tents. That way you could advertise you were holding an auction for X valuable item at a particular time, to give people time to get there if they want to bid.
Merchants could stand in the tents and advertise (spam) if they wanted to, and buyers could also head to a tent to broadcast that they need certain items.
This should stop people from just chatting in the channel, as it will be much easier to chat in the Planet channel instead. Would still allow for an open forum for advertising, buying, selling and auctioning.
As for spam in the channel, yes its a bit annoying, but I think most merchants will try not to "overspam" as it will lead to people /addignore-ing them. Personally I have redone my ad macro so it sends an ad to the Auction channel every half hour. Not huge coverage, but hopefully not annoying either.

How about making it so that when I delete the (extremely ANNOYING, I might add) "Auction" tab, it'll stay gone?

I hate the Auction tab with a passion. I want it dead, I want it gone, I want it destroyed, I want it gone, gone, gone. Let other people use it if they want, but give me the right to delete the tab. I have enough spam in my real life e-mail and when I wander around Coronet, I do not need additional spam.
Allow me to remove the Auction tab!
Question: would this work: if I were to become extremely obnoxious on the Auction channel, spamming obscenities, would I be banned from the Auction channel? Please?

I agree. I don't want the new tabs...I have absolutely NO need for them. Why force these tabs onpeople that have no need/want for it?
I was very happy with the way things were with the tabs. I only need Spatial, Combat, Guild and Group. There is no need for extra ones. Please give us the option to remove the tab permanently...
