    So unlike a thread here at DP to spin off to a new discussion, but .... :rolleyes:

    ... mcfox and TOPS30 came up with some interesting and fun ideas for flogging spammers in this thread, and rather than continue to fuel the fire, I thought this might be better as its own discussion.

    Anyway, I was wondering instead of changing a spammers title to BANNED if we could come up with something better, more fun and a warning to others?

    Maybe make it a text link like:

    Recipes for Spam

    Any other ideas?

    If this is more appropriate for the GC I won't complain about the infraction, but please don't change my user title :D

    Truthfully, it's probably more work that any mod really wants to do... There are 1,000+ banned users (for various reasons, not just spamming), so setting a custom user title for each banned user would get old very quickly I think.

    Understand Shawn, I was more or less being facetious, but in reality couldn't you create a "user group" for banned for spam people and have it apply a "if then, go to" type rule? Sorry, my knowledge of programming is 1980's pre-DOS :)
