We need to do something

How about if the forum implements a rule where a user can only create a thread every x minutes or something?  x can be set to something reasonable like 3 or something.  This way, there would not have been 10 threads created in one minute.  This is often the rule on most forums.  In fact, most forums don't even allow more than one post every 30/45 sec

Of course, mods and privileged users can be exempt from this...

i've seen in other forums they had membership "level". newbies have restrictions whereas long-time users have more priviledges.  and if someone do something that violates forum policy, hit them with a level downgrade or something. :)  it's starting to sound like a game...:P
