Forum Spam Elimination

[Sharking]

I have a better idea. Give users the ability to mark posts as spam and award 1 pt for every post we properly tag as spam, and take 5 points away from the spammer. You gain 4 pts back, we gain 1 pt, and it will be an easy system for getting rid of spam.

yes but then us Mods or Zab have to decide if what was tagged is really Spam, some players here will tag for spite.

All forums have spamming issues. It does get very annoying, I wish you the best!

I like this much better. Earning points is a pain in the ass! I didnt use sandboxie and had to spend 2 hours cleaning all the shit off my pc! I still try to do a survey every couple days while im playing but I qualify for very few of them now.

You already have the ability to report posts as spam.

I don't think I've received a reported post in at least 3 weeks.

Click the triangle with an exclamation point at the bottom left of every post.

Yes thats true no one has reported a post in quite awhile, and usually when there is spam or copied posts it's obvious right away and we(mods) do what we can to get rid of it. I like both zab's and sharking's ideas too.
