I love jinlo and worldwalker's ideas. They're amazingly perfect. Which means someone's going to eff it up. No matter what happens. People are just ignorant
But, I think if it's clear then maybe the spam will go away. I'm also for a boycot. I may even start just posting "don't feed the trolls.." on all the spambots
It could be worse though. This could be the IGN boards, or even my local newspaper. "Hello friend. I like your website. Purhaps youd like very mcuh to check my page out. we have great deals on variety of product. Just click here."
Maybe we just need more mods?

Let each mod police their own subforums..do yall do that now?
