I don't think it's that drasctic, I'd vote for just shutting down the entire forum, as anyone who downloaded it likely has an account already. But of course, with release so soon, anticipation rising, that doesn't look like it will happen. :-(
Seeing as we're now dealing with criminal activity, The Dark Hand of Microsoft should make an appearace. This is the developer that has helped Microsoft's console so much, so safeguarding the project and it's fanbase should be one of the Xbox divisions top priorities. I'd take it in a different direction, all new members from now until the ninth must register with hotmail, the worlds largest email provider. Anyone who posts spoilers will have had the game, stole from Bungie, so MS should shut down, or lock their email, at the least.
After that precautionary step, we should change New Mombasa to make it less easy to spam with spoilers. I've been thinking about this for a while, not sure if it would be a good idea or not, each thread has a number beside it, and if it's spam, or spoilers, people can click on the number. The higher the number of people clicked on it, the less likely people are to go to it, and the easier it is for the mods to notice it.
Come to think of it, that sucks. The mods, are pretty much guaranteed to have the game ruined for them, no matter what.
