Bots are progressing every day, spam on the forum is getting bigger every day. It seems to me really time to limit the registration of new users, or at least to enter a very strong KYC for registration at least will need a passport photo, a selfie with a passport and a lot of other information that will reduce the number of floating accounts.
You must be joking. It will never happen and I hope that people with views similar to yours will never become politicians or get into a position of power. I don't even know what a person who wants every forum member to show their passport is doing on a forum about cryptocurrencies.
Cant some sort of cop-bot be automated on the forums side so as to deal with many of these cases on its own?
I mean, when one reports a case as spam it could end up (prior moderator/admin clearance) in a table on the forums database, that is then used to filter out posts either on-the-fly (when the user presses the Post button), or on an iterative process manner, that searches for posts of a kind and deleted them (from a certain date/time onwards; no need to sweep the whole database constantly).
This process cop-bot process could be a little more intelligent and cope with:
- Auto nuking accounts that have posts that have been reported and clear as spam (I believe this only applies to Newbie accounts since only they are nukable).
I think that it would be a great idea as long as you wouldn't be able to cheat the bot by spamming reports with your army of accounts to nuke people.
It could get some conditions that have to be fulfilled like a brand new account, very low post count, reported by a member with high number of reports and high accuracy = autonuke.
