I dont know if this has been done before or not,

since so many people really hate spamming why not....:

ban the post counts on the people who spam, if you see loadsof spam, bump, etc etc well words are basically spam and ban their count for a certain period, they stop their spamming and if it continues after further punishment can be taken in to your hands.

When the people have learned their lesson and stop spamming doesnt it make everyone happy?

You have people who hate spamming happy because the spam level has gone down and you have x spammers/spammers stop spamming and become happy because they still have their rank going up but not done by spamming, does that make sense? :)

I think the best way is to get rid of viewable post counts. This was a point brought up a while ago by someone else, I just thought I should bring it up again. Still keep ranks! Get rid of the viewable post counts! <img src="graemlins/drool.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool]" />

Like Shawn or the mods, are going to listen to this plea and many others pleas we had made, they just shrug at it and continue on with thier lives. I agree with the idea, keep the title but make your own title with only one chance if it is an possibily with ubb. If this goes, alot of spammers, like myself, may leave. <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />
