It looks to me like you guys may want to wave the "Power To Delete" wand over a few trusted users. You have better things to do than tracking down every forum and script spammer, but with a couple dozen people, I'd think it would be pretty trivial.

There are of course innumerable more clever and baroque ways to address the problem, but they're also more time- coding- and bug-intensive. Picking a few people with their heads on straight and giving them a delete button is fast and easy.

Well I second this, the spam on the forums (although typically very limited) can be quite an annoyance ... I was doing some looking in the Spam & Malware topic this morning, and it seems no spam's been removed in the past two weeks at least. Something similar was brought up in another topic a while ago, but nothing ever came of that I guess.

I think I had a pretty solid plan in this topic, and in this blog they seem to reflect some of my ideas - not that I'm saying my ideas are original at all.
I'm saying that giving every user some power is better than waiting for those that have all the power to find the time to do the tedious things they shouldn't have to bother with.
The guys that run this site know what they are doing, and I'm confident that eventually they'll get something done and it will be good. It's times like this when nothing gets done that people like me start thinking about moving their scripts somewhere else where they have some control.

- Edit: I will actually do that, but it requires more of my time and I'm a bit busy trying to make those nit-picky users happy, among other more important things. So it will be interesting to see which of us gets done first.

What I can't understand is why users like this or this aren't deleted and banned right away (and their posts/scripts deleted). Their only contributions are spam, flagged many times, why are this kind of users accounts left untouched? I once flagged a scrap all script, checked the author and found his/her only contributions were about 20 scrap all scripts, all unlisted. What is the benefit of having this kind of user around?

how many script are being flagged each day?
is it too much for a few people to review on a daily basis?
