Thanks you so much for this restrictions. Spams are always very annoying.
But you don't need these restrictions to prevent spam. Look at one of my web sites, http://winhlp.com/ . It does not have any trace of spam.

The method is twofold. First you have to register, which requires passing a little IQ test, easy enough for a 7-year-old, but too difficult for most Chinese spammers. Only a few get through this test. Without registration you cannot post, just like here.

Second, you cannot easily post anything that contains links, which is all the spammers want. There are several good ways to allow links for reliable users, but disallow them for new users.

I'm for anti-trolling, but I dont think this is the best way to fight it.

i agree, i've been using the internet for over 14 years and developing websites for over 9 years and feel like i'm being treated like a grade schooler

Great idea. I run a few forums myself, maybe I should add this feature.

When I become a "Hero Member" and have 5 stars? (what is the trigger?)

You must kill the dragon and save the princess.

It may take up to 10 minutes for the board to notice that the dragon is dead.
Grin

In all seriousness, the trigger is 500 posts.
I hope these messages must have good content?  Cheesy
