Make new accounts unable to start [H]ot|DEALS threads?

[ashmedai]

Set it up so accounts under X age and with less than X posts can't post to [H]ot|DEALS. Think it'd kill a fair amount of the referral threads?

To answer this question: No. (I give an explaination in the other thread)

For example, the spammer this morning (which is probably what caused you to start this thread) also made threads in FS/FT and the Cars forum. They usually hit multiple forums.

You'd have to disallow noobies to make threads on the entire Hardforum, which would be punishing quite a few "innocent" newbies.

Just use the "report to admin" button (red triangle) on the posts.

Doh. Shoulda looked better, guess I stuck my foot in my mouth with that one. You're right of course.
