Maybe we frequent readers/posters could form a round-the-clock spamwatch volunteer team instead. We'd need to be given the power to delete the spam once someone else had reported it.

Good ideas.
Oh and a new clown posted SPAm in the "chess only" forum
Originally posted by Kewpie I'd like to see a qualifier for forum posts, say 10 moves. Then our moderators wouldn't be constantly chasing off the idiots who sign up just to hit us with spam.
The site idea has been: allow pkayers without moves not to post anywhere save the help forum.
That would tend to wreck the Help Forum, I suspect. We could do the "no-moves" restriction by providing a Welcome Helper (aka Greeter). Since they're human volunteers wanting to do good things for the site, all that would be needed seems to be "allow forum access" and "prevent forum access" buttons for the Greeter to use.
