I'm more of a lurker, so yeah the feuds would have to be looked at by a case by case rationale.but atleast let the COMMUNITY try to manage it first, then let the moderators jump in when it goes awry.

That idiot has the whole feed locked up ,HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??

Better yet, delete the thread after a certain number of votes (of non-new members) and let a moderator reinstate the thread if warranted.

user Apon has made 93 posts!!!!! and has joined today!!!

can't we just limit the starting new threads to start after 1 weeks join, and only 1 thread until it checks out, then users can make new threads after that (still within limits) this would also really help on the new users creating new threads without searching making searching for answers even harder.....

EXACTLY!!! Let the moderators decide the number of votes for deletion, based on any type of formula they want ie post/per day ,thanks or whatever!

there is functionality for thread rating, maybe someone with some vbulletin know-how can tell us maybe a url where it will sort by last post AND rating AND number of ratings and we communally downrate the spam. just an idea in absence of better authentication or moderation.

Oh well, now that the moderators have managed to wrestle back control.. allow me to express my gratitude and I, for one, look forward to serving our original masters and overlords, once again. Here here! ;)
