| shams said: I'd rather limit the caps of people with 100 (or 500) or less posts. No images, or even no HTML. How about a "rating" system for posts? People can give a thumbs up/thumbs down, and if a user/post gets enough thumbs downs... it gets hidden/blocked? |
The rating system sounds good, most sites implement them well, though it may be abused to the extreme, for example, if I go into a Halo discussion thread and say I don't like it and give my reasons for it in a rational post, it may be voted down just 'cause my opinion is "impopular". But in most sites the rating up/down works pretty well, so it may not be a real problem. Jus be sure that not every average joe can vote up/down, maybe require some number of posts (100 sounds good)
Though I'm still partial to the idea of letting normal users give 1 day ban, 5000+ posts and no bans sounds fine for me
