eh? It's certainly different :p nothing of course i would use... i would personally rather make a usergroup for them or better yet if they're too spammy i just ban them ;) i guess this is just like trying to humiliate them anyways :p

How does it determine if they are a spammer or not. I have a lot of users who just post a lot, and it's pretty much all relevant conversation or important communication. Infact I have one moderator who is so active he usually has five windows open at a time, all posting multiple messages.

You must have turned off the "time between posting" option in order for your mod to be posting multiple message at the same time.

About the hack, cool but I would also have to agree with Marshalus on the fact that not everyone with a high post count is a spammer. And also with gforce2001, that a usergroup would be better. In fact a spammer hack with the usergroup has already been released, and is pretty nifty. You can find it by searching the forums.
