Still, it ain't a bad idea if there was a way to do it.

Yes, but they have to go through a background check... come on Mr. Attorney.... can we do background checks to see what other sites these people are on? Can we finger print them??? Hell, I say let's do it all... I say they have to give us a dna sample on a q-tip too....

TMC said he'd be willing to collect "DNA samples" without a q-tip, but I'm not sure what he meant.

Unfortunately gargling tends to destroy the DNA structure.

We could concoct some sort of spelling/punctuation/grammar/intelligence test where new users have to score above like 80% to join.

Have them spell ten commonly misspelled words, identify the difference between a noun, a verb, an adverb and pronoun, some basic sentence structure questions and then a scaled-down IQ test of about 10 questions. Maybe also include a vBulletin primer that has to be viewed before they can post - stuff on how to search old posts and so on.

On second thought, can we administer this test retroactively to current members?

I like the 7 day waiting period idea, but I would suggest having a v-bulletin come up after a person registers saying that they have to wait 7 days before they post a new thread, but if they have a thread they feel is important and can't wait then they should pm a mod and ask them if they can post that thread, but if it's a dumb idea for a thread (which it usually is) then a mod could just tell them it's been done before and look around the forum for a similar thread. If it's too much responsibility for the mods then w/e.

Ok, so this thread starting about every little coaching commentary that is out there is getting ridiculous. Can we temporarily limit thread starting to those with 500+ posts? Seriously, this is insane.

I still vote for my proposed IQ / Basic Writing Skills test. You've got to pass with a 80% of better to be able to post anything at all, 95% or better to start new threads.

There's a very simple solution. I need to start up a new boot list and get to bootin' some people again.

What are the qualifications to make the list?
