Something needs to be done about the spam...

Unfortunately I have no great ideas, as I've never run a forum, but what preventative measures are in place are clearly not enough :/...

Maybe if you actually buy whatever they are advertising, they'll stop? Seemed to work with PSU ads after the launch.

Didn't PSU wind up flopping and going F2P though?

Do we really want f2p drugs?

Actually, wait, don't answer that. I'll get my wallet.

edit: A nice stand-in would be if we could add members to our blacklist and not see threads they've posted. They usually only spam with 1-2 accounts at a time, so letting us blacklist those accounts ourselves and not see the threads until someone takes care of them properly would be great.

I browse via the New Posts search button, and well...

Spoiler!

Blacklisting DavidAKeesler would take care of that nice and cleanly.

A solution comes with modifying the forum's settings. However I do not have access to this control panel so that lies with in something Tomeeboy or Ryna will have to modify.

For the meantime. i just won't sleep or something to kill the bots or something.
