Re: Spam solution?

I don't know if this is feasible--or even desirable--but...

Would it be possible to disallow edits (other than deleting the post) for the first X posts for a user?


The idea would be to buy a little bit of time for mods (and others) to spot potential spam posts before the link is edited in, and proceed to delete threads and/or block the user.


The problem is that it doesn't give "clueless rookies" a chance to edit posts, thus preserving their moment of "cluelessness" on the internet for quite some time.
