I don't know if this is possible, or practical, but if there was some way to automatically delete posts with just the word "SPAM" in it it would probably discourage less people to post in Unrelated with nothing but "SPAM LOL" like some I've seen.

I dunno, I think letting the mods do their job and not some program is the best idea. If someone spams occasionally to boost post count, I say by all means let them if that's so important to them. If it interferes with normal forum operation, such as flooding, we always have the mods to clean it up.

Besides, spam posts add color sometimes. :)

this could be a good idea but what about bump as well. Plus if a post is deleted with the word spam on i think people will find a war around it and put something like spamo or something silly like that. It does add colour on some but i can see it be annoying as well.

plus you could always just scan over it as well. :)
