The way avalanches of garbage have been pissing of our users i would say that restrictions would be welcome.
I wonder which would place a bigger load on you guys: wiping out spam every few hours every day, or requiring new posters to have their first couple posts "Moderator reviewed."
Wouldn't cut down on spam entirely, but it'd stop these spammy-bots from just jumping in and flooding the board with their bullshit.
