On what scale? Your project or forum wide? For the project you can: a) Do external submissions as I've pointed out. b) Run self-moderated threads. For the latter, I don't have anything to say. It's been an on-going battle for years, with less and less proper action from the forum administration.
of course
forum wide anything else would be nonsense. Like i pointed out i would expect from any ico team that they do have the resource to provide an external system where you can report your stats or like we make it simply unnecessary.
Then this discussion isn't properly located. There have been countless threads discussing this and they were somewhat easy to find until this recent spam about the merit system (hundreds of threads; most of them are useless). You should do some research and find the old threads if those discussions really interest you. This section is what you're looking for:

So it would make the life of admins easier if progress posts would be banned completely right?
Correct. So would explicitly banning account sales, account farming et. al.
We should really avoid discussing this here as we are moving away from the main topic.
