    Default Spamming

    It looks like there has been a lot of spamming in these forums recently, is there any way to stop the spamming in the forums and to make these posters not post during threads that actually have useful information.

    This brings down the forum experience(at least for me), which is why there should be a special section or limit for posters to have before posting spam in these forum threads.


    If anyone agrees vote yes, if not vote no.

    Simple, Right?
    Don't be Afraid to go into the UNKNOWN "WHERE have i Heard that Before?"

    Something should be done to spam. It looks like only 20% or even less of messages are not spam. This kills the forum. Users do not want to read spam.

    On other forums which do not have so much spam there are rules like "link in sig or in msg only after 10-25 pots". Maybe, similar rule will help here too.

    Yeah, tell me about it. This is killing me. We do have plugins like that on our much, much more successful site androidforums.com. We need to port them across our other sites, like this one.
