There seems to be a problem recently with people spamming for ranks. I don't know if this is technically feasible but wouldn't it be great if the Moderators were able to fine people. So if someone persistently spams after a warning you could deduct 50 posts form their total, if the continue you take another 100.

I bet that would stop them. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

I've always thought that it is not the quantity of the posts, but the quality. To be a good contributer to a thread is what we should strive for! To create good threads is what is most desired!

I actually just did that.. but I started at the -500 range. Depends on the posts and the user.. Spamming for a rank is not allowed, and will not get anyone anywhere.

That's actually a brilliant idea Donut and Ziroc. I must admit it did start to get on my nerves, even if I never complained. Glad to see measures were taken.
