BB administrators, is there any way to ensure that a poster can't start a new thread until he/she's posted 10 times (or whatever #) on other threads? Or ensure that a person's first five or so new threads can't have the word "free" in the title? Spam'd decline dramatically with a few automatic blocks in place. Thanks so much!

ETA: With today's influx of revolting spam on the boards, can a new poster's first several posts PLEASE go straight to the CL admin for review before they can appear???

It would also help to install the Spam Decimator module and let let the moderators have full use of it. I don't think our paid advertisers like to see their company name next to porn.
