Idea for lowering the numer of spammers and scammers
So, I have seen like 50 posts related to a koreean casino boiling with viruses, and I was on another forum, which does not automatic post what the junior members say.
So, back into our world, I am just wondering what if the moderators, gm's, Market squad etc. have their own Forum section (we will discuss this later), so we will not see a lot of spammers?
Ok, you maybe do not understand. This option IS NOT FOR EVERY MEMBER! it is for the Junior Members and some other cases.
Now, the admins and their little forums:
Market Squad: Market forum
GM's: Every forum, including Support etc. This will help them see the reports and questions faster.
Moderators: Almost every forum, excluding the Support subforum
Clan Council: Clan only first threads of unofficial clans (for editing or warning the Leader)

Pros: Way less spammers and scammers, the rules will not be that useless for the forum newbs and/or players who do not like the rules.
Warning points: The GMs will set them up.
If you have any questions, write here, cuz I will reply and help you understand.

So, are you saying that only Moderators and GMs would be allowed to see junior member posts? And the rest of the members can't? That would save us from the spam, but that isn't really stopping it, it's just preventing us from seeing it, yet the Mods and GMs are still stuck with the Spammers. I don't really see a way around it. Unless they made it that junior members or just newer accounts aren't allowed to post anywhere besides, like, one thread, that is dedicated to spam and stuff. I'm not quite sure how to look at this.

"Dear reader, I hope this email finds you before I do."
I want to say that the GM's and moderators will have to see if the posts are against the rules or not. if they aren't they can approve them and will be sent on the thread they want to post. I do not want to say that the GM's and moderators can see the junior members posts and the members not
Or, mods have to approve new member posts before they are viewable by other people

The point of the spam is to advertise so if only a few people can see it originally the audience to the advert is reduced so it less effective, less people will therefore spam

Until they're a member or certain number of posts? Doesn't seem too bad. It's just, not all the Mods are active in time. .-.

"Dear reader, I hope this email finds you before I do."
this what i wanted to say, and it prevents a lot the spammers! also, there should be some buttons for mods and GM, like 'approve' 'ban' 'warn with reason' 'edit'
Too much work for GM's I think. I wouldn't wanna be doing that if I were one of them.

It would be the mods not the GMs and it should be less work than dealing woth all gbe spammers. Also if the limit was set at 5 approved posts then it would be even less work and very discouraging to spammers
what if they just found how the bots work, and made it so if you have the same line of text an excessive about of times, your post would be closed or removed or whatever.

The spammers could easily not post all the text, they just decide to so if this rile was made they would just spam a shorter message
