Nope this will never solve the problem there are daily so many users joining the forum and overtime users will get bored of it and stop verifying it, i was also a newbie at a point and i would never love to wait for several hours or even days just to get my post approved, yes there is lot of spamming going on in ico threads but only solution is hiring more moderators and we reporting more and more posts
To me this just looks like another unnecessary thread made you are saying 100+ members can be hired right who has the sufficient time to first check if they are worth to be hired and then after they are hired checking his accuracy is again a waste of time
A perfect solution for this is time, all these threads made are just looking for a quick solution but we a solution which works in the long run as i have said in past we just need few more moderators and instead of spending time on writing such long and useless posts go and report them , nowadays there is no second chance i have moderators are straight away banning users which are spamming
Edit : See this
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats daily 400+ newbies are joining and let's say each of them make 1-2 posts daily just imagine how much time it will waste just to review their posts
It not will be a thread. More like "show waiting approval posts"
100+ members, plus admins, mods, DT members. everyone to check 10 posts daily it is 1000+ possible posts less in the air.
Do you think that this 400+ newbies daily, 400 new different persons?
If they know that his post needs to be approved, and maybe can wait few hours publish probably they will stop trying.
Obviously most will be alts no doubt about but as a legendary is really easy to say but if this happened to me i would really be pissed with this system
Just block posting by them on most of the boards.
Blocking on them from ann would be a good idea but then admin won't be able to sell copper membership anymore
