RE: Testing If People Read Something Before Letting Them Comment
I would actually rather not have to work so hard to use the site. Keep usage easy for the masses, only punish the abusers. Maybe a bot that recognizes strings of words like "follow you follow me" etc. The bot can "suspend" the account for a day after 3 strikes. If it's a spam account, they won't keep it up for long.
As far as "calming people down", when has putting someone on hold calmed them down? Lol. It feels like they are trying to buy some time to censor comments, imo.
What do you mean "suspend" the account?
Perhaps keeping it from commenting for 24 hrs.
There's no way to do that, as krnel said in his post.
Hiding them then. There has to be a way to make it hard for spammers without flagging. Flagging opens up flag wars and that isnt good for business.
What do you mean hiding them?
Yeah, a report feature to report problem users, who then get a threshold that enables a quiz feature since they are known to be a problem poster, or suspend them for 3 days lol ;)
If they wanted to censor comments, they would just do that ;)
