combating spam

any way we can make people post an intro to themselves before accessing the rest of the site? just think that it would make the spam posts be much reduced. that or moderator verification of members is also useful as it removes the ability to instantly post.

seeing as my first idea didnt gain any traction, can we reduce the time between reporting posts from 60 to say 30 seconds?

Is there no way to stop this spam? I see 5 and 6 pages of spam fairly often now. It seems that more than half of the new posts I read are just spam. Pages and pages.

I didn't expect to see spam as often as I do actually; I think your first idea, Mink, is a great idea. Mod verification might be too intensive for... the mods... I also agree with the 60s - 30s idea... so, if it helps the thread, consider this my signature of support.

EDIT:
I don't know how bad it is when you guys get to it, but I just saw a whole post of bestiality images, and It was not fun. Who would be the person to private message about this stuff?

I installed an anti spam software on the forum. this has been getting severely out of hand. Lets see if there is an improvement. I just deleted 145 posts about UGG boots and Lasik...FML !
