We Need At Least One...

Ok, I've come up with a satisfactory solution which would solve most of these problems. If members were able to vote to ban a member in the profile. Once five votes are accumulated from different members, that person is banned for 1 day, or until a mod arrives. That would be a good way to get people banned when Mods aren't around, and it requries five members.

Mods would of course have full power over deleting ban votes, and the like. Of course, you should also limit it to 3 accounts per IP, barring special circumstance. These changes, if possible, would make everything a lot easier.

5 members? ok, but since the most active users would be me, you, dsdude, lkr, and chuddy, chances are a mod would be on anyway.

i just don't think this problem will happen again...

edit: lol i still think its a good idea though, if it is possible for allen to do

Dont count me out just yet,you can depend on me if anything goes down since I'm one of the only members that be on the site in the morning. I've witnessed all the spammers that came so far.

Just putting it out there, since it would be an excellent solution whether or not mods participated...

If we can find a way to implement it, we'll definitely try it.

I think five is a bit too much though. It's only at peak hours that five members are on anyway, and even then, mods are usually on.

Good idea on paper, maybe 3 is a little bit more realistic?

[ShadowMarth]

In about any 3 hour stretch we have at least 5 people stop by, though the same can't always be said about mods.

if we implement this only the very active members should be given this option, cause someone could just make 5 names in 3 hours time and ban me or something :P

i agree, that is a better idea

That was the point of the three account per-IP limit.
