just an idea here, but there should be some limit on the number of threads one person can produce in a certain time period. this idea stems from the fact that i just witnessed someone making 5 different threads all wrapped around the same topic, and i think a thread limit would help to eliminate spam like this... maybe one thread per half hour? or maybe once per 15 mins... something like that leave some feedback on your ideas
That is a good idea... someone just made 5 threads about the same subject... this would stop that kind of spam... it wouldn't be anything different than waiting 30 seconds to post another comment.
well.. thats for comments at least... but im talkin bout a limit on the topics you can post... check out the game forum and check out all the "is this true" threads... this is the kind of stuff im talkin bout
Well, not very many people make a whole load of threads about the same thing(i saw them all too), so I don't think it should be around 30 min.! Perhaps 15 yes, that wouldn't make it such an annoyance as sometimes you have an idea, but will have to wait forever to post it, which a lot of people have no patience and aren't willing to wait that long. However, I do think there should be a limit, after all if someone tries to make a bunch of topics again, they probably won't wait around to make their 3rd-5th one after waiting 15 min. each. My take on the subject
those spammy topics don't pop up much, and are usually ignored, killed, or are now are enjoyment pleasure. [Before spam attacks].
The POST thing is a BAD problem. Its rather annoying, and to make it worse I say it should only be 10 seconds. Because to be honest, A spammer may not be able to post as much, but I say if theres a spammer, he'll spam on a thread until he's shot. I've never seen spammers go for multiple threads, and If I was a spammer I could even do that WITH the 30 sec. rule.
Well, it would indeed help us a lot, but users don't usually create many topics at the same time. And even if they do, we can quickly react and lock them or even delete them...
i dont think this is a good idea,cause i am only on about once a day,and i want to post some interesting stuff.but it could be good if there was a limit to how many times u could post in one place.('_'
But, I don't think it will. If the site has enough active moderators around, all this could be stopped by simply locking all threads with a certain title.
