Title: Forum Suggestion
Post by: XD on January 13, 2013, 09:24 am
Whatsup people,

I have a suggestion for the forum. Recently I've been seeing more and more of these bitcoin spam threads like "10 BTC=$73.65 [-website link-] 100%Safe,SEND IN 1 MINUTES,Accept Paypal and Cr... etc" spammed 10 times in every forum section, its beginning to annoy the heck out of me. I know we can report the thread to the moderator and it gets removed quickly, but the -same user- re posts the same thread 2x more each time it gets removed (like a Lernaean Hydra), would it be possible to implement some kind of a user report system? To report these spammers to a moderator/administrator to be banned.  I know this won't be really effective, since they can create more accounts within seconds and repeat the process. Maybe it is possible to have some sort of keyword filter, like they have profanity filters in forums which sensors curse words, instead of that, a user wouldn't be a able to post a thread if it has some website link on the title.

Just my two cents,
Stay safe.

Thank you, hopefully they'll be able to implement some sort of spam prevention system.
