Re: Constant Spam Threads
One possible solution would be to prevent users with less than some small number of posts (5? 10?) from editing posts. These threads are made by users posting a thread with some nonsense text but no link, then going back and editing the thread to include the link.
A lot of the problem with "require information at registration" thing is that sometimes, actual humans are the ones mass creating spam accounts, and they can do some quick reading to figure out what information they can put in to pass initial scrutiny.
I do not think anything good can come from having threads automatically removed after a certain number of reports or anything like that. Spam threads are annoying but not such a big deal that we should open the forum up to abuse like that.
If there's anything I can do to help CD with these spam threads, lemme know.
