Just thought of something that might stop spam a bit. Maybe if every new user had to have their first post approved by the moderators before it gets published, you could ban guys posting shite before anyone needs to see it.

It would be a good idea if it's available as a software mod, but I don't know if it would stop anything in the long term unless the new member doesn't know the post is being scrutinized.

It certainly would eliminate some 'shite' as you say.

I'll look into it
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
"Don't piss off old people The older we get, the less 'Life in Prison' is a deterrent.”

Yeah it'd have to be a secret thing.

It turns out there is no mod available to do this.

I've added some anti spam mods in hopes of avoiding some of it.

edit...

the mods will have to wait as the db that they work from is unavailable right now... ???
