....at another site that might also be a vBulletin site, they don't allow you to post hyperlinks for about 25 posts or something (and no pictures until your post count is 100). I think that really cuts down on the SPAM.

If this board has a similar capability, would you folks consider some change like that?

The idea is rather good, but then they'd just start spamming with LOL's and :D :rolleyes: :eek: to raise their amount of posts.

You'd think so, and maybe it would happen, but it doesn't seem to occur on this other board.

Anyway, I think that if it's possible, it's worth a try. But maybe that's just me. SPAM is about one step above annoying pop-up windows.

I will check this out and maybe install something when I'm home from the tour.

...don't know if you're able to check on this yet, but I thought I'd bump the suggestion. (y)






....because I know you don't have enough to do already. :D

I'm looking at some hacks for this right now. They all look pretty sucky, but if I can find one that's reasonable we'll roll with it.

we already have a few tricks we've used and installed to avoid spammers. the thing is, i wouldn't wanna see regular members take hits for something spammers have caused. like not being able to post 3 totally random hyperlinks in three totally random replies in three totally random threads that are all still on topic.

If we don't see them then PM one (or all) of us and we will get rid of it.

No need to get your nerves frayed sister!

But, um, I did notify you about an ebay one a couple of days ago, and it's still there. :confused:

I never got a thing from you... :confused:

Aren't you going to link me? :)

Those threads are now officially dead.

PMing me is the best way to get them outta here. I don't get the alerts.

Thanks for looking out!
