Well, that was the hidden dirty trick in my idea
Every spammer would just had their spam posts deleted after a while, but no other members would suffer for deleting that one big spam megathread...
I know that nowdays everything is robotized, and bots don't really care about the whole thing...
But to be more serious:
What if we restrict the posting to 1 post per day until the newbies get 1 merit at least?
That won't restrict them too much, they can ask for help, they can open a topic if they need, but we will have less spam (they can't join to a sig.campaign where there's a 20 post minimum per week)
The same would apply for jr.members too...
I know that account farmers would just start to create more accounts, but it would be more easy to spot them too...

I knew that
but let's be serious, theymos is not implementing anything any time soon. See his response from today > None of these ideas are new to me. Even if I don't respond to suggestions, I do read them, and they float around in my mind going forward. If it's not already done, then there's some reason why. A big possible reason is that I'm the only person who does development on the current code, and my time is limited. Another big reason is that this is a huge forum with complex dynamics, and even small policy changes can have big effects which need to be thought through very carefully.
