O.P. [idea] Protection against spam
Well, I was replying to new moderator?, but some ugly men seemed to close it before I posted. :(

I was suggesting a way to let Elites have some control over spammers.

If a spammer joins the board ans starts to spam indiscriminately and there's accidentally no mod+ around, all we can do is report them. But nothing will be done until a mod+ gets in and checks over the reported posts.

My suggestion is to give Elites the power to block some member from posting.

If elites get to report say 5 posts from a certain member, this member is automatically blocked being unable to post, but able to read. Until a mod+ checks over the report queue and releases or bans the member.
May not be 5, I'm not sure what amount of posts could be considered as dangerous or at least as "really annoying".

Anyway, just an idea I thought up. Probably bullshit, but thought I'd make you know, though.
