that's pretty much standard on all forums - to be able to block IP addresses.
 
however, that's a REACTIVE fix, not a PREEMPTIVE fix.

There's a website the keeps the names & IP's of known spammers.  It's easy to check someone new against the website and simple to submit new spammer names & IP's to keep their database up-to-date.  Some of the newest forum softwares can evidently auto-check this though I haven't been on a forum that does this yet.

I'm glad I don't know you guys.
 
 
I was very upset about a disgusting post. Then you try to make fun of the way I say it. That's not funny, it's insulting.
But Cake finally removed the post and member...glad it's done.

Cake better be a hell of lot more concerned about the people that do buy their product

Really. Let me know when they start. 
If you bought it, you're already assimilated and don't matter anymore.
They want new blood, new money.
Haven't you noticed?
 
Maybe it's the Comcast business plan.

Have I noticed? Yes. But the money end of doing business with Cake is nothing.
Ethics is worth so much more and in my eyes that has been a big loss suffered by more than the people working at Cake.
It's not unknown by many members that a lot of good people have left...what I think, is that a lot of people aren't sure why and that really is the easy part....and it's not about money.
 

So we're suggesting a sub-basement, a lower level even than the CH? And then invite the world in? That would be a neighborhood I wouldn't want to visit after dark.
 
I still like the distributed moderation solution. Let anybody with more than, say, 17,815 posts move a thread to the sub-basement dungeon. If any such users proved themselves unworthy of that power, such as dumping anything they considered "unfunny" down there, their post counts could be zeroed out in retaliation.
 

 
It's unlikely that CW will create any restrictions on the forum. The reason the forum was started in the first place (aside from user-to-user support) was to increase the customer user base, so CW probably isn't going to want to restrict people from interacting here.

Ah, still a bit embarrassed about getting that kitchen remodel and buying that psychic spell, eh?

Wow, you know your post count.
 
I haven't looked at mine.
