Not really. Tons of people get banned everyday, they don't need to be celebrated in any way, even ironically.

Isn't there some way you could take links off and just warn them before banning them? I think some people honestly don't know the rules the first time they come on the site. They start posting links to their music before they find the thread about rules or before anyone can fill them in on the rules first. Or, at least, electronically force them to read the rules before they can register. You might be talking about the really obnoxious ones--I don't know. But, I think some people just don't know in the beginning....

Yesterday when I came online here I had to delete 6 accounts and all their posts and about about 12 threads , and deal with 2 members queries which meant spending approx 15 mins doing this before I could even begin to post anything myself.

If I was to edit all the posts individually and then start PMing reminders to people telling them to read the rules, then you could add about another half hour to that.

And the thing is only a small minority of these spammers bother coming back once they've got their spam posted to read these PMs.

Ok, got it. Seems like there could be an electronic mechanism to save you time though--e.g., forced terms of agreement before people sign up, or a way of preventing adding links until members have 25 posts. But, you've been at this longer then me, so...

i totally get what you're saying here but i think johne has a valid point with the idea of displaying the terms before joining. although from what i remember that already happens. maybe just a terms for dummies version with the main points in bold, especially the ones that hit a grey area (like myspace links in their sig)

maybe something like:

1 - single word posts are frowned upon
2 - making 15 posts as fast as possible so you can drop a link in your 16th then not posting again that day will get your account deleted.
3 - don't put a link in your signature until you've bookmarked the site and made it part of your regular surfing routine.
