Spammer protection?

[davereid]

OK, the Tamiflu spammer this morning only posted about 7 messages before he got tipped. Well done the mods.

But I red repped him - and I noticed he got red-repped real fast by other users too.

How about a setting to disable access by new members if they get more than say 5 red reps until its reviewed by a Mod ?

his reign of minor annoyance only lasted bout 10 mins anyway, doubt anything much needs changing. I reported him for spam, which notifys the mods something has to be done anyways.

the two little exclamation marks next to the bling-giver. Mainly used to report spam, but can probably be used to report other out of line things, though this is kb'r so dunno if anything other than spam is reportable

If there's a Mod running KB Spy, spammers like that usually get zapped within a minute - most people don't even see it. I guess we're all busy with our "real" jobs this morning...

Don't reply to it, just click Report Post. That alerts us pretty quickly.

Replying to it often makes the clean up job more complicated, especially if they've spammed other threads.
