| Please add a speed-bump, such that new members can post to the Forum,
but not if they insert more than three links into the message text. Right now
all the spam messages I see (like the one this morning, and the parade of gummie
spam over the past year) have 10-20-more links sprayed down the body of the message.
Limiting zero feedback members to three links, should in no way impact legitimate
users, but it might slow down the spam kids such to make spamming here more difficult.

To do that they'd need to have some sort of filtering process, based on both
user feedback and number of links in a message. Is the forum that advanced? I
doubt it. It doesn't even filter swear words.

| Maby a different approach is effective:
If a user is below 1 month old, has zero feedback;
Let their forum post only be visable for moderators and or admins.
That way spam gets filtered for the rest of the users.
When need be a genuine question can be "released" for everyone.
This is no long term solution i believe.
But when the settings for it are done the workload should be around the same
but with less to no visable spam.
