My only idea really is too IP ban people, yes I know moderators do not have power on this site too do so. But if they did, then that would help out these forums a lot from trolls with all there alts.I'm no expert on this subject but here goes: a lot of people here are in college and a lot people in college use the same IP address. If you IP ban one person, you'll be blocking a whole bunch of people on said IP. People with a dynamic address dodge the bullet as well.Banning someone by IP address is like trying to catch a car thief by sitting in one car and hoping he tries to steal it.
The easiest way to approach the problem is not to get rid of disruptive people, but to add worth to accounts; to reward constructive members. The simplest way to do that is to add a significant time delay between creating the account and using the account. Say, a month before you can post in the flood, 3 months or more before you can post threads.
That's a little much. If I would have had to wait an entire month to enter certain forums and a quarter of a year to make a thread, I would have left this site.
Yeah, what Covy Killer said.
If banning peoples IP, but then your banning other people that have my may not done that. Basically innocent civilians getting shot in a crime happening.
An if we can't make people wait too long or too short to post on the forums. Then what else is there left too do? I'm not saying the report system doesn't work, just the structure how it is set up doesn't exactly work.
EDIT: @Covy Killer, yes there is a 24 hour wait to create a topic.
