    It doesn't stop them coming though.

    We try to act on spam quickly but there are "bots" which are doing a great job for their masters. We do what we can but spam is very hard to stop!

    That will just make it worse... really.

    All that will happen with such a restriction is 5 worthless posts + PM spam.

    You bet.

    Spam is just a part of life if you're online. It sucks but get used to it.
