Step 1 for the new forum should be BAN Totally BAN all known Scammers! Ip Ban
IP bans are pretty worthless, for the most part they only hassle legitimate users. Scammers, spammers, people who abuse multiple accounts, etc, those folks all know how to get around IP bans easily. Innocent people are more likely to be hit by it than the intended recipient.
most of the spammers here are doing it for the sig ad payments. most the programs pay higher according to activity. this provides an incentive for spammers not to get banned, because if they do, they have start with a new account and make less money. as for scammers, there's no point banning them, because the account is worthless anyways after it's been tagged as scammer.
think of what you're saying though. I can accept a sig campaign and essentially spam my way to the minimum posts guaranteeing my payday without worries of getting banned. If i get banned i easily once again create multiple accounts leaving them active to attain the desired ACTIVITY to once again participate in sig campaigns.They can try I guess. You need 60 activity to make member, at 14 activity points per 2 week period, you are looking at 2 and 1/2 months to get the lowest ranking account they will take. And the risk is pretty high, we are watching, new people are still being banned daily for it, several have been banned again for a month+, etc. Good luck I guess.
