Thanked: 22Since a lot of these spammers are posting the same crap, why not ban them by IP address? If you do that, they can't sign up again without first getting a different IP address.

Thanked: 1587I think an even better idea is to implement a new posting mechanism whereby every post we submit is queued to await approval from the relevant mod. They can check the post, then place it up on the thread
No, no..no need to thank me, mods. Knowing I've helped improve the site is thanks enough.

Much to simple! we all know that the mods have no lives so to fill their days and nights we should simply call them and dictate our posts that way they will be proper, spell checked and grammatically correct. Also they will need to have the post up within 10 minutes
the only downside is that they will be able to snag the best of bst.Be just and fear not.

Thanked: 1587Can overseas members call the mods collect? If not, I like my idea better
Ah, good point on the B/S/T thing! Just make a rule that the mods are forbidden to buy off the B/S/T (or any "heads up" ebay posts) for at least 2 hours after it is posted.
I think we're getting somewhere here sys!

Depends on the kind of forum you;re running, one of the forums I mod on we're free to block IPs from certain countries, another has some key words that result in an instaban. and yet another requires a mod to approve membership before you can post.
none of those would really work on here.

Thanked: 22We had one earlier today, advertising same stuff. Seriously, just ban their IP address, then they cant create a new account every other day.
