I got this indea from the Gamefaqs forums. They have a posting restriction system that limits the amount of activity new users can't flood the website with spam.
Those that are familiar know this. But new users are allowed to create only 1 single topic, and create only about 10 posts a day. Eventualy they are allowed to post more topics and have a greater post count until after a 90 day provisional period ends. In which they must remain active during those 90 days to have their restrictions lifted. Another feature is bans. Warned users for violating the rules are given posting restrictions for a set time.
Now im not saying copy their system, the only way to remove restrictions and level up in there strange rank system is to be active daily earning you a "karma". But a similar system could greatly reduce spam on these forums. New users won't spam because they can't. Others that don't seem to learn by their blacklisting could have a posting restriction until seen fit. Or instead of a 3 day blacklist, put a posting limit for that person if their infringment is minor.
This is only an idea, but i would like it to be heard. Plz post your comments
