spam filter

i just got this idea.. from that guy who was spamming all his porno web site around neowin. i thought it was kinda stupid that someone can post the same topic name, with the same content more then 5 times? there really is no need.

so i came up with the idea, adding in a filter, that stops a user from posting the same topic name more then 5 times. cause really.. you don't need to. ive seen it done before.. you can an error off another forum (i forgot which one) but it you post the same topic twice (the same topic name) it gives you an error.

just look at this.. ridiculous..

a 5 time limit? i think one thread will do the job. 2 at the max but not 5

This is a great idea. I'll pass it on.

just making it seem resonable.. Like if you name the title "MSN messenger".. you might make more then 1 of them...

This is a great idea.  I'll pass it on.
