I know there are tons of ways to penalise spammers, but to some extent they are all a little severe. I was looking at Kiers post count decrementer, which reduces a persons post count when they are placed into a certain user group - this still seems a little severe to me, but it has possibilities.
It only takes one or two members in a post whoring contest to start annoying a lot of people.
What I would like to request, is something similar to kiers post cound decrementer here, but worked into a time limiter. We currently have our posting time limit set at 60 seconds, and are considering increasing it to 90 seconds in an attempt to combat the spammers. I would love a feature that allows posts to increment as normal if the posts are made more than 90 seconds apart, but the post count decrements if the posts are made less than 90 seconds apart. That way, the postser gets to think about how important his post is over his post count and gets to choose. Neat huh?
