i dont know about you guys, but i think spam is getting out of hand. if ya dont believe me, check out new mombasa. im only saying this because i feel there should be drastic changes, but the only ones i can think of are these:
all topics have to be checked by a MOD. the only problem, MOD shortage. it would take too long, and MODS arent always around.
all new members have to be checked by MODS. this makes sence, because there generally arent that many new members, and the wait will be worth it (if your not a previous spammer)
any other ideas?

Get say 2 dozen people and give them the power to (as you said) lock or suspend a spam thread or post and then alert a mod to it and have them make a final decision. I thik that's a good idea. BTW I heard that there were going to be some new mods soon, whether or not that's true I don't know. I hope it is though because you guys are right the spam situation has gotten out of hand.[/quote] the problem is i can count on one hand the number of people i'd trust with that power
and that's just not enough to handle the level of spam were getting
