Newbies need to be limited to being only able to make 1 thread then a cooldown. This kind of spam is making the forums a mess

Reporting them isn’t enough to deal with them when it honestly shouldn’t happen in the first place. A new user shouldn’t be allowed to completely spam the forums with nothing slowing them down. My suggestion is that just as the title says, limit them to 1 thread then add a cooldown before they can make another thread. This cooldown could honestly be whatever time the staff feels would be helpful, I think 15-30 minutes is a pretty decent time frame.

I also think there needs to be more staff members. The fact that we often only see 1 to 2 staff online while the forums are being spammed sucks. Maybe add low level staff that only does spam bot clean up? Just something to deal with the fact that the site is constantly being spammed.

Seriously, this is all of the spam being posted during the time of writing this post and after this thread was made

Costello has made some changes to the spam filters and hopefully and without jinxing it we have seen less spam since. I'd appreciate feedback regarding this.
Can confirm that I've noticed far less spam over the past few weeks.
