Would it be possible to stop new members from posting links, or having them in their sig, unless they have already returned some results, or have made a few posts before ? I dont know how hard the first thing would be to achieve, but it would be good for the forum and the techs if this could happen.

There does seem to be a rash of this kind of spam lately, although the techs do seem to get rid of it fairly quickly. It would be nice to cut some of them off at the pass, so to speak, if it is technically possible and not too much trouble.

cmvi :-)
----------------------------------------10 days run time (or 5, or...) + 10 calendar days of active crunching (e.g. 1 result returned per) will be enough? Real newbies will have time to go through forums, find answers and if they will not find them, after 10 days they can ask.  Crunching@Home since January 13 2000.

If a new member has a problem that prevents him/her to start crunching, then he/she needs to post on the forums even with 0 days of CPU time.
I like the "no links allowed" idea though. |

We have modified our anti-spam defenses to account for these new posts. We will be watching to see if/how they adjust their scripts to respond.
