It must have been a couple of years ago but I remember there being an announcement saying that anyone who replied to a spam thread would be banned for three days. Just out of curiosity, is that still the case?

Opps. I think I missed that one. :erm:
Bucking for my banning, R Soul?
R Soul on 5/11/2010 at 18:37
I would have done the same for anyone :cheeky:
edit: I seriously doubt you'd get banned for that. I don't think it ever went into the official rules.

It depends if it's a genuine response because they didn't realise it was spam, or one of the usual suspects just being a dick.
And what mood whoever gets to the spam post first is in :D

Dammit, Renz. After all these years. I gave you my heart and you turn out to be an machine? WHY CAN'T I FIND TRUE LOVE?

Would it be an idea to disallow new members active links within their posts?
They would be allowed to post a link but it wouldn't be turned into an actual <a> element, until they're no longer new members, or manually flagged as non-spam contributors, or something™
Something like this:
http://www.google.com/images?q=best+pumpkins&hl=en&prmd=ivnu&source=lnms&tbs=isch:1&ei=H6rUTKOxA8WAlAe2ovGBCQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&ved=0CBAQ_AU&biw=1920&bih=955
does nothing for google rankings, but it is still possible to open the link if you're really into Best Pumpkin Carvings.

Definitely possible, I used to use another forum that required new users to make 15(now 40) posts before they could post links and images.

This would only have a effect when spambot would know in advance (and be advanced enough to care) that its posts do not have the effect it hopes.
