Lets face it, this site is just a legacy warehouse for design traffic. It won't get an update.

There's a load of us who have been on Newstoday/QBN (under different names) since it began.
If they can't trust folk who have been trustworthy, dedicated and loyal members for 10+ years to moderate, who CAN they trust to do so?
While they are at it, some new Editors would be nice!
I doubt i'm the only one that's tired of some of them abusing their position and posting up friends sites,studios and shops to promote them or posting up stuff that is "timelined" by one of us minions who posted it weeks(or months!) previously in the PV.

"How hard is this to implement?"
Not as easy as you thought, huh? Couldn't even come up with a plan, let alone something easy to implement. Yikes.
- Why so combative? Just continuing the discussion. Plus I don't know how easy, hence the question.cannonball1978

We need SQSA (the Stop QBN Spam Act)

We need at least 2 mods in each of 4 different timezones around the world.
Plus a team of uber-elitist assassins whose shit doesn't stink to take out the worst spammers.

However it works, the design should be preventative, not cure-on-sight.

Gminor,
The problem is that the current system allows it at all. There are bound to be ways to prevent a person from having to moderate anything.

Whats wrong with the current system? We report spam to the spam thread it gets deleted with the account pretty quick. The site IS moderated with our help. I suppose the real problem is though stopping spam before it happens, which I think requires a more complicated lengthy strategy, one that QBN aren't prepared for perhaps, they are probably fine with the spam thread system.

I suggested something like this a few weeks ago and someone said it had been suggested before.
Another way would be to have the site invite-only and if you invite someone and they abuse the site then you could face a ban too? pretty harsh!
Or to sign up youve got to prove you are in the design industries?

Sounds like you're just tossing the same old ideas out there, but I don't think they would work because people would abuse them. Even the tiered system is flawed since they'd only have to either wait a few days until they can post, or earn the right, which would turn away just about every new potential member at the same time.
- the only solution I see is aggressive moderating... and I don't want to go theremonospaced

I'm fairly angry.
The Penn State thread: apparently gone.
Pharmaceutical spam on the front pane: nearly 50%.

I think a 'Spam Choice' section under Public Choice would be awesome.

You're so tired you spelled "tired" wrong

It would be interesting to see the balance of genuine new members vs. spammers over the past few months.
