I'm not sure about you guys, but I've had more than my share of bait n' switch links, including vile pictures and even viruses.
I've also noticed that most of these have been produced by new users (not even a day old).
Spam accounts are nothing new buddy. Which is why we have (and always will need) Moderators on Bungie.net. They seem to keep spam accounts in check so I don't see why a new system should be created.
Besides, dealing with spam accounts is somewhat common sense. I mean here is the example:
You see a brand new user with the default avater posting a link to a pic. The replies all say "OMG don't click on that link, it's a bad pic!", and hovering your cursor over the link shows that it is from an XXX website. Do you:
* Ignore the link (and thread) and get on with your life, reporting the thread to a moderator?
Or
* Click the link, scar your mind, and then complain on the main Bnet forum?
