Hi sts,

With the recent spam making of all these love failure adn all dat crazy things. I think u need to make a thread making filter system. By this i mean a system which will detect the thread for sources which show that this thread is a spam thread. Once it had been identified as a spam thread it would be sent to a spam list which the mods n devs can access and delete thread.

Thoughts?

Maybe integrating a kapcha everytime people post threads to rule out bot spammers?

Most of that is already implemented. Spam bots dont normally get past captchas, so im assuming a human is registering and a bot is taking over once the account is activated by a mod.

But email verification, captcha, Q&A, etc are already in the registration process.
