| Changing the application rule
I would like to suggest to put the level of 'you must be a member of this website' to at least one week! I think there are way too many people trying now to enter the hacks area with 100 posts in one day with many of them spamming a lot.
Also, idea two, is to label the spammers to tell them they need now 200 posts instead of 100 due of the spamming and if they keep on spamming they get banned.
A third thing, but belonging to the one above this, is to give a penalty of 50 posts is a member is applying (way) before the 100 posts are made |
