Preventing Spam

[TheMailman]

Seeing as post of it gets posted in 'General Discussion' I was thinking that we could have the same as the PM system. Posters should have posted atleast 10 posts before entering 'General Discussion' otherwise it will come up 'Not Authorized'

This is an interesting idea I want to see what admin or Ian says to this. The only problem I can see with this is that most new users will want to introduce themselves, etc. when they first register because they won't have any successes to report or anything. Maybe it could be you must have 10 posts before you could start a topic in General Discussion or something. That way they could still introduce themselves, etc. without getting too confused. Bots don't usually spam in the middle of a thread do they?

Oh, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the previous SPAM post made by Andrea which gives you the answer to your questions:

1 - Spam posters do indeed post in the middle of already existing threads
2 - And they post in all boards - not just general.
