I know, but how can we prevent these spammers to even submit?

We can't.

Maybe there should be a big flashy warning when probies submit that reminds them not to self post?

I went through and backed up your banhammer a bit.

There is. These are the two warnings they have on their submission page. I don't think they care either way. I assume they are only here for one reason. http://i.imgur.com/oLkoOTH.png

and thanks for going through and checking the bans on all those videos.

Thanks. been ages since I was a probie.

I guess giant flashing warnings are too hard to notice for some folks.

It makes our Sift Talk forum really ugly with all these reported submissions. Maybe need a separate area for those?

So funny. I totally thought you were being sarcastic because that's exactly what we have and they never care. They even have the nerve to be shocked and appalled many times, expressing no idea why we're discarding their videos.

If we had a separate area like that, no one would probably ever go there.

Maybe instead of showing the full inline posts in the ST listing, we could shrink them down to just a list of text links at the top of the page or even in the sidebar perhaps.

Hmm...

Wow, this week's really bad!
