Spam Deterrent ?

GUCCIFIRE!!!!

sounds like, koochie...

I'd buy a KoochieFire.

Why not just have the users account suspended (for review once the admin is available) once five posts are marked as spam (or 5 people mark the same post as spam)? I don't see why anybody should have to mark 100 posts as spam.

Adding mods, account activation, or other stuff would be unnecessary, and they add more issues.

+1 Good Idea. I just hope we don't overreact and make new users go through confusing hoops like over at CPF. I am not in favor of adding a bunch of moderators. I like the open environment here and the fact that it is pretty much self-moderated by users.

Another good idea in the same vane.

And another...

Can that be cured with penicillin?

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a koochiefire but I'd sure hesitate to slip my 32650 inside of it! ;)

At least if it was unprotected.

I definitely think it's time to implement measures to block the spammers. The biggest nuisance is when they dredge up several old threads that aren't even really relevant anymore.

And while I'm sure the spammer will be gone eventually. People who respond in the threads to the spam will keep those threads at the top. So definitely don't respond in any threads.

Sometimes it is kind of neat to see old threads though.

Yeah, if anything good came out of it, I found myself reading some old threads I'd never seen before (after clicking the "Mark As Spam" on Panpan of course).

The comments about the KoochieFire and batteries made me snort iced tea through my nose and onto my keyboard.

Way to wake me up in the morning!

lmao, yeah, that's classic - if you think about it, that joke just had to be made, sooner or later

Seriously .

I hope this can get fixed because I gotta admit, it's kind of wearing on me.

All the recent spam is starting to devalue the board. At this rate it might start feeling like we're chatting on a DX forum.

That's one craptastic spammer. Predictable, too.

I am going to bump this thread every time this forum gets paisleyed .
