One post per hour is too stringent. I mean, the Politics thread would be way less lively if that were the case.

I mean for new members. Lots of forums essentially have tiers, with the new member tiers having limited abilities. You can ask a question with your one post per [time limit], but you can’t spam. Once you reach a certain duration as a member, or post count, your limits can be reduced.

It doesn’t prevent spammers from existing, but it slows them down. It makes it so they have to spend a week or more building up an account just for their several minutes of being a dick-face. Making admin-approved account creation will hopefully prevent them from just starting (and maintaining) 12 of them at once to build up an array of accounts.

Yeah, new member restrictions makes sense to me. Things like no images or links before X amount of posts, that kind of thing.

Now that we’ve seen Hansi’s press conference post, I wonder if the spammer is someone that we’re not thinking about. Maybe somebody right here, right now.

Any possible candidates?

I had the thought earlier today… when was the last time ImpScum posted anything that wasn’t argumentative or self-aggrandizing? He did use to contribute to discussions outside of Off Topic.

I think he went full on troll mode a couple of months ago.

I don’t know why he wastes his time. He’s doing it because a majority of members look upon him with disdain or complete indifference so I don’t know why he just doesn’t stop posting.

This speculation could easily turn into a witch hunt. Wait until we have something more concrete to go on before you set up that duck scale.

Where were you in '77?

Ah HA! So it’s you then! Of course, it makes sense. You’re always conspicuously absent when this is all going on… plus who would suspect a moderator?

Nailed it.

Agreed. If it wasn’t Wario, though, or someone similar who delights in ban evading, such as a current non-banned member, they might not have covered their tracks at all.

This is all assuming that you guys check IPs and ban IPs and such. Don’t think I’ve seen that confirmed, but I don’t doubt you have that bare minimum of functionality.

The other two posts are a mystery it seems.

I believe PMs are counted in this system and he did mention he contacted Jay about the duration of his ban.

I’m surprised that account hasn’t been banned yet.
