Suggestion to Stop Spammers on Forums

I’ve noticed spamming in the forums lately so here is a suggestion to fix it.

1. Your account has to be two weeks old before making your first forum. 
2. You have to’ve played ten games before posting your first forum.

3. Before posting your first forum you have to do captcha involving completing a ladder mate.

The site is implementing some features to mitigate the spam but even things like that won't stop it.

Ik it wouldn’t stop it but it would definitely lessen the volume a lot

The first and third ideas are dumb, but the second should be added. The spam bots don’t play games.

Scamming too

It’s messed up

Yeah these are both good ideas, because trolls on OTF like the infamous baby would have to wait 2 weeks each time he creates an account. And this would completely stop spambots.

Sorry, all three.
