Russ or Chris,
Allow only one posting per account per day by none members! Only PAWN STARS should be allowed the priviledge to make multiple posters. If the postings are abused, the priviledge could be suspended or even revoked.
I believe the cut down in number of games from 10 to 6 is just leading to the creation of more accounts and it will not have the desired effect. I believe that the non-member should be actually to play up to 20 games, which would reduce the number of active accounts.
This would cut down the junk postings. I know that several accounts may be used, but that will be annoying for the poster, and that's the point!
Another way to cut down on multiple accounts is to refuse free accounts from hotmail, yahoo, etc.

it is unfair to non-stars.
I think there should be a way to suspend posting rights for anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks if that person is posting offesive stuff (cum toker, tuco...etc...)

there are lots of nonstars who have stuff to say worth reading
because a few mess with that right to post so much that you have to take it away from them doesnt mean you should take it away from the good guys.
Ok,
What about a way to alert a user, and anytime that person posts something it doesnt show up until a modrator acepts it?
this will also work for new joiners to the site.
I'm thinking there counld be some kind of voteing system for modrators to tell if someone needs to be 'suspended'

that's how it was when I joined this site - any post you nade was hidden until a moderator OK'd it. After a few posts were accepted you could post directly.
I always found, while child minding, the best way to enforce good behavior was to give them something that was a priveledge and which could be taken away. Giving people the priveledge of direct posting, which could be revolked, could be an idea.
Downsides:
1) time strain on mods to go through all posts
2) if mods had to moderate so many posts then there would be the question of "what is allowed" all over again
3) the spammer would be flooding the mods "to be OK'd" list instead of the forums. Admitedly, because he couldn't see the effect, he'd probably give up sooner...

To be honest I did consider creating a bogus account, but on reflection decided it was too much hassle. Instead I have spent time concentrating on my remaining games.
Wrt free accounts, banning hotmail/yahoo etc wouldn't work. This problem is too easy to get around and there are too many free ISPs.
Furthermore they are often used as a means to protect privacy. Initially you can never trust a site - you don't want to be bombarded with loads of junk mail to your main account!
Wrt posting per account, I feel the diversity of opinion offered by non-members is good - they come and go cf members. I'd rather put up with a few idiots rather than limit everyone else.
Originally posted by LazarausI believe that the non-members should have a limited number of posting per day, let say max 5!

In five postings, they can get out what they want to say!
