Hello,
I've been a silent user of this great forum for quite some time; & only recently have I been seeing ever more increasing amounts of spam in all sections.
my 2 cents:
1- make signing up more stringent
2- force moderation of first 5(or any arbitrary number of) posts/threads of every new member; i.e new members' threads will not automatically get posted, until first seen by a mod. Or at least prevent them from posting links
3- more moderators. there are quite a few people that have a high activity & have good reputation. Give them some power, like deleting or modifying posts etc or just checking new member's posts(from point 1), stickying threads etc
4- the report system-why do i have to wait a full minute before i can report the next spam post? this should be reduced to 10 seconds at most.
hoping this forum gets even better, spam-free & helpful to all
