I don't know what else we can do about them to be honest, I don't care about trolls but I think the spammers are starting to target old threads now too.

Minimum activity to post 100? Cheesy

that is a bit harsh though, I would say 8 hours logged in and > 50 activity ? I know that we will be limiting legitimate members from posting questions or adding value to threads but something similar would really help limit the shills and trolls and spammers...

Increase the time between posts at first to 10 minutes. You can't really make a quality response in a thread that has a few pages in less time than that.

I think the newbie jail was a good idea for various reasons. I'd be in favour of it coming back with the same or similar rules as before.

This is actually a good suggestion. The forum is being flooded with new trolls and spam coins/posts and so on.

the last few weeks have been insane with the amount of trolls, so many new accounts with user activity <50 trolling all over the place on all boards, it is not a matter of only trolling but threads are full of spam, I get it you can share your point of view and without censorship, this is cool, but when you start repeating the same thing over and all over again for 10-20 pages you are just spamming and you bring the value of the discussion down and it becomes really disturbing.

Mods, Admins and Theymos please apply the noob restriction again to help prevent these trolls, they can still bitch as much as they want in the newbie section....
