How about a system that automatically deletes any posts containing two words or less? That would cut out all the lols and firsts and I agrees, and other similar silly pointless comments. Anyone know if such a thing has been tried elsewhere?
i agree...
Other forums have a system that disallows posts that are too short, but people end up adding inane content to bypass this system.
I remember how one guy used to deal with the "first post" comments on his blog. He would always post the "first post" comment himself, usually with some silly pun and a goofy image. After a while, people stopped even bothering to even try to beat him to it, and then he stopped doing it, too - and it never became a problem again.
