Can we add a system same as the Evil IP but for deleted posts?

I adjusted this to be what I believe Iasenko was going for. I'm not sure if they meant only as a result of being reported or just total deleted posts in general.

The second is already in place with the autoban function (as far as I'm aware) if people make a few posts and are a new user and they get deleted within a certain time limit, they get autobanned. It's nice to look at on the seclog (although I'm not entirely sure if that is what it is or not - could just be hilariousandco clicking his smite button on a load of newb profiles and changing the type of ban to a fancier one Grin

)...

I believe that is only for Newbies. The idea here I believe is to have a level of punishment for all members.

Overall I would have to say I disagree with the idea as it stands. Just for example I have had quite a few posts deleted, for whatever reason, some of them as a result of providing coaching for a reported post. I do that from time to time hoping they will see it read it and learn, full well knowing my post will also be deleted once things are handled.

There is also the question of some boards having differences of opinion on what constituted going OT or is just a good addition to overall discussion. I don't feel genuine users should be punished just because of shitposting spammers.

Now if this were more tied into how many posts are deleted or reported and deleted in a certain timeframe that may narrow it down to the intended group. Perhaps also more of a limit as opposed to a punishment, such as only being able to make 14 posts/week for 2 months. The types of things that would possibly cut into the income earnings if that's why they are here, or to at least stifle the spamming. This could allow members to change habits should they want to contribute to the forum or provide a barrier to earning for those that just want to make money.
