Re: The new type of flood attack for non-moderated and moderated threads
good idea but for example maybe its possible to add some allowed date registration range, i. e. allow posting for newbies that are registered no less than week/month ago.
Yes, too have a good point but still it would make the process more complex and also some multi account spams have older accounts which they can use for spamming. So I think just making it unbumpable ( selfmade word
) for any type of newbie will be the perfect remedie for this.well, some light was shed on the problem. but i can't get just one thing why local ru mods didn't ban this very active flooder (i. e. all his accounts)? there is plenty of evidence but a complete lack of action.
because he doesn't break any rules
here is the flooder himself.
I'd say require at least 1 Merit to post in the altcoin section.
Paid bumping services have evolved after recent changes to deal with them. They went from 35 accounts per thread to about 500. It has completely broken the altcoin board.
Spammers create thousands of accounts at a time now.

That'll make for spam on the bitcoin section.
If a user makes 200 alts and has 200 airdropped smerit then they could have 200 bots ready to go and then the bot spamming business becomes qujite a prevmium one with high prices for bot spamming...
Can we not just get managers to click "additional options" >"self-moderated topic"?
no, for example the described attacker (due to his mental peculiarities) can (and he does it hard and regularly, simultaneously laughing at us as it given above) continuously make posts in threads, so the solution must be more than just enabling moderated option.
