I've been working a little on spam control; especially since it suddenly spiraled so out of control. I've writted a chunk of code that can remove an entire BotBr's set of posts. It's a little bit helluva tuff to let anyone use it, but I will start working on BotBr statusii that Admins can set --

Troll - can not vote

Zombie - can not post comments

Mummy - inspect for deletion

woah I just marked alangeruthpudderwacker as a troll zombi mummi

YESH!

Admins please note the power! I did some testing, but it was not thorough. Things are looking good so far. I'm not 100% sure how pages will display when for a BotBr with one or more of these statuses, but they do cripple the user experience each in their own way.

troll - vote forms are not generated; votes are not saved

zombi - comment boxes hidden; posts are not saved; new threads are not saved

mummi - treated as a Guest in many, many cases; can not do much of anything

Admins == I know the icons are cute, but this is not a toy!

I put the badge descriptions in teh lyceum!!
poops :D/

added some more mummies as per this snippet of irc log :)

"Admins == I know the icons are cute, but this is not a toy! " then pukes accidentally trolls everyone jajajjajajajajajjaja

Can you please make a public page so people can comment, dispute, prune crippled BotBrs? It could also be used for admins to remember who is Zombi or Troll to make them normal after a certain amount of time -- so timestamps would be nice. Can we call it the crib so the babies can cry about being crippled and miss dinner and snackipoos?

well teh admin page already has a list of everyone who has an ailment, i guess a normal post could work fine as for the "crib" function

im sure i will have many troll votes on me :))).... love you all anyway!

Fix me

Not with votes like that [all 7/all 1 votes are considered troll votes].
