The board has the option to rate posts and then the users develop a status based on all the ratings, but I did not want to open up that can of worms. Too much potential for problems of their own.
The bottom line is these folks making the spam posts are NOT regular users. They ONLY sign up to spam. They could care less about what we think of them, only that someone might click their spam ad and then they make some money. So anything we could do to try and "shame" them is a total waste of time.
Now, if someone wants to develop a hit squad...I'll pay for the ammo!
