The key word here is "dedicated" area.

Anyone can post random stuff anywhere on TMO.

@sopwith: it would help if you elaborate a bit (put a hook on) what 'Solution #17' is People generally don't get interested with arbitrary numbers...

Thanks ysss.

I wonder if I should bother, judging by the few votes so far this seems a really terrible solution to the hoax/spam threads problem. What puzzles me is that some very respectable community members have down-voted it, which makes me think I am missing something...

Hint, hint, hint. You're on the right track, keep thinking; you'll get there.

Hmm... It has crossed my mind that "greater powers" actually want immature posts and flame wars and useless rants...

But if that is the case, what is the harm in admitting it? Why the hints?

Aren't there already a few (long) threads discussing that issue?
This seems to be a common issue in many forums that I frequent... usually they just put a simpler measure of control: a minimum number of posts before the user is permitted to start a new thread.

Well, nevermind...

I should have been thinking as a troll to realize the flaw in my idea... In a nutshell: register two accounts in TMO. Make the necessary number of (void) posts with one. Thank them all with the other. Start opening threads.

@sopwith: yeah, unless everyone has social security\passport\birth certificate verified accounts; it's just too easy to subvert online 'personalities' by cloning ;(
