Re: Recent Spam
There are a lot of people with a lot of posts but aren't necessarily the most trusted or responsible people here. You know who they are. If anything, I think it should be based on how high your Karma is.
And for your second idea, right now only one person is allowed to report any single post.
EDIT: Gah, I just accidentally sent in two spam reports that apparently weren't spam. Sorry to any mod who sees it. D:
This brings me to believe that the first thing I said might not work.

most of the spambots have 0 karma (because when you join the forum it starts at 0) so this wouldn't necessarily work either.
Re: Recent Spam
My post was a reply to HK69's idea of "a forum member with a certain number of posts can ban others" or something.
So I was saying that it should be based on Karma rather than posts. Say, if you have 20 Karma, you can ban spambots.

Re: Recent Spam
Yeah I agree with Susa here. We need to take action. This is getting way too frequent.

Re: Recent Spam
Theres an easy solution. Add someone to the staff who is online more than 8 hours a day who's only job is janitor (can only move posts to recycle but not delete).

Dare I say that cutting back on some of your pointless posts would decrease the spam count drastically.

Rapt0r backing up slashfan. That's unheard of.
I think this idea would probably work the best; just choose a few people to be janitors and move posts to a hidden forum.

Re-read my post.
Also, this idea is virtually unabusable. As soon as they do something obviously wrong that's not due to error, remove their rights/suspend them for whatever time period.

Re: Recent Spam
I just added in a phpbb mod a found that requires another recaptcha when posting and the user has less than 5 posts. The theory is that the spam bots don't expect one on the posting screen, only on the registration screen. We'll just have to see if it works.
