[img] Tag Idea!!!
I have an idea to fix the image problem! How about that a Scratcher can only make a post with images (and the limit of the images would be two a post) every two hours?
I can't lower it anymore, that might make the forums less safe.

Or maybe one per hour? One per 24 hours is so little.

You can't post images in Misc, and maybe in the other forums (haven't checked yet). The TBG images still work, though.
Anyway, good idea!

Re: [img] Tag Idea!!!
I don't think it's permanent though.
If it is though, which I would hate to be true, then maybe every hour would be more suitable?

Or every half hour even. Whatever, great idea.

That would be even better, depending on how long they're going to keep the image ban in place.

Re: [img] Tag Idea!!!
This is a great idea! You should totally report this so that the ST sees...
Except, instead of 12 hours, it should be a lot less

12 hours apart? No, just no.
Much less than that.

But spammers could just post a lot and still get all the spam posted.

Re: [img] Tag Idea!!!
An interesting idea! Kind of like the 60 second limit. It would certainly help in that it would limit the damage that could be done. It would require some changes to the forum software though, and it wouldn't eliminate the problem, only reduce it. But good thinking

Though it wouldn't resolve the problem completely, it would greatly reduce the amount of complaining and quitting.

That said, every solution has its drawbacks... and mods are here to make up for robotic error.

Exactly! What a wonderful world if the forum software could eliminate all spam efficiently without the need of mods (no offence Vista and coolstuff 
)...
But that's impossible, so we might just as well try this solution out instead of getting all of the Scratchers penalized forever. Let's get an extra mod, and give more freedom to the fora.
Also, has nobody thought of associating the image problem with the retirement of Wolfie and fullmoon?

It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Re: [img] Tag Idea!!!
For me, personally, this would be bad. Since I mainly spend my time in Misc. and use the minecraft topics, I tend to post a lot of pictures of minecraft builds all at once. I don't want to post one a day.
Or maybe you could change it to '1 post with images in' per day. That would let posting minecraft things and such work but forcing trolls to stay within one topic.

Re: [img] Tag Idea!!!
Great Idea!
But not one per every 12 hours, maybe every hour or two.
