Quote:Make it so only accounts that have been around for X time qualify (I suppose X posts would work as well if you are writing something a bit more generic). Set it for at least a year for this place. I know, it doesn't catch everything but this is a mature forum, most of the members that still visit have had accounts for quite some time and while it would then be harder to set the threshold of how many reports there need to be for a temp ban you at least have some checks in place.I sent Bolty some code ideas along these lines, but based on daily activity in relation to lifetime activity. I didn't want to go into great detail in public though.
If some script kiddy wants to get enough dummy accounts made and let them sit for a year just to frack with legit users I think that would end up being kinda entertaining. :)
But yeah it doesn't have an option like that but I just thought that would be a way to make it a little safer if it did. :)
