UT, you do what you have to do to keep the spammers down. 5 "good post" limit before new threads seems fair.

I will say that we seem to have gotten some real interesting legit posts from unregistered lurkers who just have to de-cloak to rebut some argument or the other. If there's a time-based waiting period before all posts, this will stifle their input.:2cents:

Flint: godwin.

I agree, Pie. We've had a number of lurkers that finally couldn't take it any more and had to respond. They are usually excellent posts, too.
That said, I doubt if there many who have an Epiphany and just have to start a new thread, right now.

So, not being able to make a posting in an existing thread would deter the urgent desire to respond. But the 24hr wait to start a thread shouldn't be a problem.

Not responding to spam threads, and definitely not clicking the links, would be a help. I doubt if they really give a shit about your smartass insults, they crave attention not praise. :cool:

:sniff: but its fun... and you're right

You remind me of a guy I read about. His name was Adolph !!!

Flint, if you haven't already, you must read Jon Stewart's "Naked Pictures of Famous People" where he wrote an "interview" with the surprisingly not dead Hitler and Larry King. It's freaking hilarious!

I like the way you think. ;)

Why not use some creative license and shoot those holiday snaps right there in your apartment/flat.

Damn, I wish I had a camera, a video, internet at home. This could be SO fun.

Sorry to get back on track, but whats the concensus at this point?

Oooooooh, dig Mr Stay-on-track Man! ;)

Go for it UT.

Y'know, they always post links, so... we could just hack the shit out of those sites? Fuck them up so bad they'll run away with their tail between their legs and go tell all their spammer buddies that hang out at spammer hangouts... and... then... they'll tell the head honcho of the spammers gang... and then he'll come here and butt-fuck UT... okay nevermind.

Why do the spam posts have that little piece of paper next to them?

It's toilet paper.

A lot of them are using some specific set of instructions, I'm sure; which include the advice to put an icon on their post to make it stand out more.
