wtf are you trying to do?

this constant stream of spam is getting annoying. Why post 50 one letter repleis in your own topic? if your here to spam like that do it in the worlds longest thread in prime. It is really annoying. I mean its not even funny spam! fs

Yeah, I forgot that. But you see what I mean? It's a good idea, right?

Newbies are allowed to reply in Prime, just not start new topics.

Most forums that you can buy allow you to do that.

Here's an idea:

Newbies aren't allowed to post in Prime, right? That means there is something that happens to the users status to tell the browser that they aren't allowed to post in Prime, if you see what I mean, because there status is Newbie.

Well, here's another idea. SR should have another forum, which is hidden from us, but shows up to anyone with the status of Spammer. When a person gets lots of complaints going about their crap topics, their status becomes "Spammer" and that spammers forum opens up to them, but then, all the other forums, the ones we use now, hide from them, so they can only post in the spammers forum.

What d'you think?

There’s no point in starting new topics to combat people writing crap like that in other threads, they never listen.

I know it really annoys some of you, but you've got to learn to ignore it. I see quite a few topics with no real content and considered 'SPAM', but all to often regulars keep it at the top by writing little comments in it about how stupid a topic is or who stupid the person who wrote it is.

First thing you've got to do is give the new people a chance, simply asking them in an adult manor not to spam up the forums, they are more likely to listen and take note from that rather than some insult. Then, if that doesn’t work, just ignore them, let the posts die and continue in the good topics.
