I was on AIM, when I thought of an idea on how to reduce spam. There could be a post limit. You can only post a certain amount of posts. For example: The post limit is 10. Some spammer has already made 10 spams, when he posts his/her 11th spam, they get a message saying: Sorry, but you can only posts up to 10 posts per day. This could force spammers to edit their other posts, but since they can't get their post count up via that means, they won't edit their posts. They'll have to wait. I hope you guys all like my idea. And that it could really decrease spam if created.

That's pretty cool. Most won't agree with it if they have 90 posts already, but whatever. It'd take a lot of work if it could be done at all...

That was originally thought up by RFS and other Miniclip staff, but for practical reasons such a system couldn't be adopted as far as I know of.

Good idea though.

That would not be practical... What if someone is a really good poster, and it tells them that they cannot post more than 10 posts a day? This would be really irritating, no less time consuming for the Admins and Mods to come up with the modifications for it... I really dislike this idea...
