Spam Prevention Measure

I think I'm going to call it "Scam Spam" as a new report reason. Basically spam intent on taking someone off-site and scam them.

We’re you up early or did i witness this new feature live early today?
"Scam Spam" report reason now added and it will trigger Spam Prevention plugin.
This is a great addition.
Personally, I've been only reporting when it's truly necessary.
For example, to keep people from being scammed/hacked.
This would eliminate that danger.

This is a great way to combat the idiots who come on just to spam nsfw and nonsense bs. Thanks for the update!

This sounds like an awesome addition! I have a few times come across accounts that just go thread to thread posting the same spam and would continue until staff got to it.

Not sure it would ever be needed but would you ever consider upping the post count if it required multiple reporting members or maybe making it so the number of reports required for the limit is proportional to the spammers post count? Say a new account starts spamming and makes 26 posts before a single upgraded account reports it? Probably unlikely, but once spammers know this policy, I would think (if they are smarter) they would make 25 posts as quick as possible to get out of that “instant” danger zone.
That's a great new feature!
Great way to stop the spammers from running wild, once you stop them from post num 1.

I'll make the necessary changes as needed. And please be aware that I do things which aren't publicly known too.
I was here when Forensic was posting all the gay porn. This is good.
