This would not really work. Spam bots will just reply 10 - 15 times and then they will start their own threads. The main problem really is about the spam bots. GFY is a very well managed board, especially with the mods, new GFY rules, and banning rules.
Over some years, I gathered a lot of useful webmaster resources. I think that in the future I might make some fatfoo webmaster resource sites. I have a feeling some people will be interested in that. Like I said, already in the past I've has some success with getting paid from certain advertisers. Some good forum software is all I need.
A lot of people right now are doing blog business with posting useful articles and things like that. Some people are writing site reviews of different sites. I think that the reason people go to a forum or blog is to see some potentially useful information that they want to read. So, they don't want to see nonsense replies by bots or by spamming members.
I can see why a forum would need strict rules whether to ban spamming members or not. If anybody is interested, message me on icq:396815963. Thank you.
