Quote:My view on this whole issue:
Some people are having a little 'race' to get the most posts. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, maybe I'm wrong, but if Im right, then I dont know what the world is coming to... :-?
I can't wait for phpBB 2.2 - we can disable post increasing in the general forum!
Then a lot of spam will disappear... but until then, let's have common sense prevail.

There's a mod for that I think. Try
http://www.phpbbhacks.com/viewhack.php?id=2155. I haven't tested it, but it sounds like it's what you're looking for.
Just how does this prevent post-increasing? I mean, I hope it won't filter out posts with less than, like, 10 words.
....no. Don't add it. Pixelation has a 100 character limit, and it's not effective to me. Only annoying. Adding a "smiley only" stopped would be good, however.
I would rather not add anything. I think that the solution is simply claim for a little bit of common sense.

I agree, I think we all are old enough now to not have to have restrictions placed on us by admins when everyone can just modify their behavior and mature.
Not everyone here is old enough for that.
Everyone here is at an age of reasoning. I am sure everyone can make a slight effort to minimize their use of smilie posts and useless oneliners.
Yes... I like to think people are mature here lol. I think we can all pull ourselves together personally.
Nonononono.... I'm not talking about a mod that would delete posts, sheesh! Geez guys, you got me all wrong!
I'm talking about a mod that would make it so admin could choose forum(s) that when people posted in they would not increase their post count. So you could post a smiley only, or a huge rant, and you post count wouldn't increase.
This would weed out some of the more extreme spammers. And don't say "they'd just move to other forums", the other forums have to be generally on topic, so any rubbish would be deleted anyway.
I think this is a good idea, as a "safeguard". It's not the restrictive idea you all seem to think it is
