Suggestion for getting rid of goldseller spam

ZorvanZorvan Member CommonPosts: 8,912

I'm sure everyone here is tired of reporting goldseller spam, and then having to wait sometimes for hours before a mod can get to it. Especially on the weekends, it's really bad. And I understand, mods and the rest of the staff need their time off just like the rest of us.

So, what I'd like to propose would be a way for us users to get the offending posts out of the public view when we report them, and then let the mods get rid of it when they get to it.

Perhaps when we hit the "report" button, instead of just sending a report for the mods, why not set up a flag to have the reported post blanked out until the mods can check it out? This wouldn't really affect too many people, as all it would do would give a visible signal that their post has been flagged for review.

Or, maybe a new "forbidden links" or some such button, where it blocks that post as described above, but is only to be used in regards to posts containing forbidden links or names of websites such as goldsellers/private servers/etc. Maybe require a post count of at least 100 to use the button, so people can't just make an alt and start blocking other people's posts out of anger/mischief.

I have no idea if this could be done (never built a website before), but thought it might be something to consider, at any rate. Thanks.
