Would it be possible to only allow users to report spam if they've say, a) been registered for at least a year and, b) made at least 50 non-spam posts?fwor said:
They can't do that, because it makes it too easy for the spammers to disrupt the system. IIRC they tried it last year and the spammers caused a lot of aggravation by creating accounts purely for the purpose of reporting posts as spam when they were not spam. It's a difficult balancing act...nick74 said:How about (temporarily?) reducing the number of votes needed to remove a post as spam? At least it would tend to get them taken down quicker.0 -
