A perfect logical, rational and simple moderated RGP

Presently the key problem with RGP is the continued posting of spam by
people that use each address only once which makes putting them in a
kill filter useless.

The solution is very simple.
All new users of RGP will have each of their postings reviewed by a
moderator until they have six posts in a roll pass a no spam ad
restriction by a moderator. This will kill all the first time then
switch name spam.

All other posters will be allowed to post as normal without going to a
moderator and each user can determine who belongs in their kill filter
and who does not. In a very short time each user will be able to have
a very clean and readable RGP which fits their needs,

For those worried about off topic post the answer is simple. Kill
filter all off topic posts you are not interested and if a user starts
off topic posts which you feel causes the users overall posting to be
of no value kill filter that poster.

This method would allow us to do away with the different name one time
posting of spam but yet keep RGP a free and open voice.

Once again I find it funny so many are blinded by what the problem
really is and get involved talking about matters of no real concern
put forth by people like Shiver.

A six post rule is all RGP really needs at a general level all other
issues can be handled on a personal level with a kill filter. For
those like Shiver that want a mother figure to determine what they
should and should not see really points to the fact RGP is not for
them.

RGP is a free and open voice and we should all want to keep it that
way. Once we do away with the one time one user name spam on RGP all
other issues can be solved by each user on their own terms. The six
post rule would allow any kill filter to work at an almost 100% level
in a very short time.

Those that want some other level of moderation really don't understand
what they are asking for. What is spam or an ad to one may be useful
information to another. Take for example someone talking about a
bonus at a given online site to the bonus whore this is great
information but to me it is just spam. Any talk about any site could
be considered spam by someone that doesn't play online

All this talk about sig lines is just plan nuts. If someones sig line
gives you that much heartburn then kill filter them. As far as any
off topic post just kill filter the subject or as stated before kill
filter the OP if their habit of posting off topic makes their on topic
posts no interest to you.
Good god folks let us address the problem a personal kill filter will
not fix and leave the rest to personal choice.

Or you could kill filter the symbols $ and % in the subject line .

this will clear up almost all of your spam problem.

Wrong!
It would kill things like "Arlo I have the $10,000 I owe you" :)
