I picked this up myself in the PS2 forum following a thread about how bad the PS2 forum is.

There should be a forum where only a) Regulars, notables and staff and b) People who don't spam and can spell are allowed. Should any newbie make a post there they get instantly banned for infringing the rules : should ANYONE, notable et al, spam consistenly after warning they should be banned too.

I think that might just work to create a forum not ruined by spam or rubbish.

Anyone got any comments/suggestions?

Personally I'd love this idea to take off..

Ban them?

That's harsh...

They can just block them off of that forum page!

And that fantasy forum you just mentioned...

It's called FOG Prime!

No

What would help a lot is a proper banning system, as it stands it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Oh look I've been banned.

And now I've signed up again.

Whats the sodding point?
