I have an idea!
When someone is being a loser and spamming in a thread (:whistle  , instead of closing the thread (everyone else might like it) you could warn the person, delete the posts, and Ban the person from the thread! Not even the whole site, just the thread, so that people's favorite threads do not get closed. |

Why would this not be possible?

I don't think you can ban someone from just a thread.

Maybe just warning the person then. Locking threads because of a couple of idiots is not fair.

Yeah it does seem a bit OTT - the forum is quite heavily moderated, maybe occasionally a bit too heavily, and it seems a bit much to close something like the jokes thread because a couple of people got carried away on a small wave of spam.

But what good does warning actually do?
And moderators shouldn't have to go deleting spam posts every day, it would take up sooo much time. |

well that's the result.
The community as a whole should act against them Not only the moderators. People should learn to ignore spam posts and start sending a personal message to the one saying that spam is bad ? If I were to give a warning for every spam post there is I would be warning all day! and you would loose many of your "friends".

The person who starts the thread could delete posts of people who are spamming.

Warnings build up, 20% does nothing but 40% results in a post ban and above that gives you longer bans.
