Most of today's unusually large and offensive supply have been suspended as soon as they hit the ground, either by moderators or by robots that have detected overposting. However, their posts remain visible, clearly annoying many people, including me. So my suggestion is that when a poster is suspended - by mods or robots - all his posts should automatically vanish. The Ed can of course restore them any time he sees fit. But my guess is that if their posts swiftly disappeared, they'd soon lose interest in posting them and go back to playing Tetris.

Hey Nazzy.

Yes, im sure you run a very tight ship other on your other site. But if you had the amount of users, the massive turnover that this site does- could you still say the same?

Hats off to you if you could :-)

Absolutely ... it's not about numbers, it's about procedure.

What procedure? Monitoring each and every post? How is that possible by a couple of people if say 50 different people are posting throughout the site's categories (not the same half dozen) every couple of minutes or so?

1. Proper flood-control.

2. Trusted Moderators with big sticks (and the ability to wield them without asking me first).

3. Catch 'em once ... kick 'em hard ... no re-offenders.
