<>With an average post of 8018.93 posts per day. <>

Actually, those averages likely aggregate all historical data, so they are way below current values if we want to look at it from a recent standpoint. For example, the average data for the last month is:

Code:

31/10/2018 27/09/2018 Diff Avg/day
Posts 47408491 46206303 1202188 34348
Topics 1169540 1155646 13894 397
Users 2440959 2392993 47966 1370

Way more work as per OPs intent...

With my suggestion at least it wouldn't be manually approving every single post or thread, but just the first ones or so of new users (or I guess you could extend it to a certain rank or maybe until all members have received a merit or something). It's about limiting spam and stopping bots because anyone who goes in bitcoin discussion can see that it's a complete shit fest with little worth posting about. If shithreads were trashed on site before they were even made public I think the forum would be a much better place.

and this might seen as somewhat controlling the freedom of newbies and lower-rank members to post whatever they like (lol).

But isn't that the entire problem in the first place? We really don't need another dozen threads from a newbie about who is satoshi, how much you think bitcoin is going to be worth by tomorrow/5pm today/christmas/2019, and asking how do I earn money here.

If you happen to see such posts that does not go well with the topic or is somewhat inappropriate to the board in which it was posted, the report to moderator button works wonders.

But this still requires the same effort from mods and because we don't have people patrolling the forum 24/7 looking for things to do they are more often than not are left there to fester with crap. Those threads should go straight in the trash when they're made but at least they don't clog up the forum in the meantime and continue to keep it an eyesore.

That's not a good option I think. That needs lots of efforts from the mods, and will consume much times and energies.

Just tag or punish or temp ban to the the spammers, the case can be closed easily.

The second sentence contradicts the first here. It's a hell of a lot of time and effort to ban people as well and we still have to handle the spam when it's posted. The spam threads just wont make it public in the first place if they have to be verified first and at least that cleans up the place even if it is a little more work for staff but the benefits would be evident very fast.
