is it neccessary? no, would it be nice? yes


I'd argue that it IS necessary. Too many old ass threads are getting bumped; one night half of the new posts page was bumped bullsht. When spam is making the boards unreadable, you have a problem. When 8 out of 10 of the new tabs that I just opened are UGG_BOOTS BUY UGG_BOOTS then the real threads are getting buried.

Here's another idea if you don't like the janitor idea. Everyone with a minimus of X karma has the ability to mark posts as spam. Once a post is marked X amount of times, it get moved to the hidden spam forum. Basically unabusable.

Edit: LOL UGGBOOTS IS CENSORED

I don't know if someone already said it before, but can't we remove the ability to post links or images if the user has less than, let's say, 10 posts?

Or something.

Sure hasn't been spammy around here lately. :cool:

As the proverb says: work smarter, not harder. Meaning, having more people spend more time fighting the spam can't compare to having it automatically controlled by other means.

Can we just, like, create a new user group with fake moderator privileges and put Rapt0r in it so this thread will go away?

I was a fan of the idea of more people to tackle the spam, but it's obvious that Nwru wants to stick with automation as the method of choice. Just let it go, man.
