you're referring to that account who posted about taxes. I noticed it, but 3 spam posts a day? I have a hard time believing that.

Believe whatever you'd like. Subscribe to sift talk posts via RSS to see stuff that has already been discarded. But don't base something on your hunches.

You're tired of so much spam? Maybe I missed all the spam that goes on here, care to show how often this is taking place? because from my experience, such things are very rare here. Have you seen other online/video communities?
This is an extreme measure for a not so serious problem. It makes no sense to restrict every single new member just because of a few cases of spam. Seriously, where is all this spam you talk about? There are not even spambots in this site. At the most, I have seen a couple of self linkers a few times a month and 2/3 wannabe trolls that are already taken care of.
What if a new member needs to clarify, ask something they dont understand about the site or how it works etc? Not everything is coeverd in the FAQ and not every new member knows who are the admins of this place. So what is this new member to do if they cant post a siftalk about their problem or even message someone else?


I'm glad you're not noticing the spam, our discards and bannings must be working. It's just annoying to be scrolling through my RSS reader and find 3 seperate sift talk spam posts daily.

The first one is good and the last one is good.
PMs should not be limited, in my opinion.


Yeah, I know it would be a pain. But here is what I am thinking. If they can't spam the sift talk and they can't spam the comments. Where is the next place they would choose to spam?

Income Tax (Commercial Talk Post)

Should we also un-ban the spammers so they can have another chance to be a viable member of the community? What do you think they would do with that opportunity. For someone who just went on a destructive spree, what would they do with a second chance?

This idea is just going to cause a bunch of headaches that will not bring any worth to this community/site.

Let's not forget that most people got several warnings before being outright banned. (Except for the dirty spammers.)
