Detect spam/abuse: What percentage of people who see this item will mark it as spam?
Create a "best of" list: What percentage of people who see this item will mark it as "best of"?
Create a "Most emailed" list: What percentage of people who see this page will click "Email"?
I found that link in reddit's source code....
Just add a button to mark as spam, you could even make it so it ignore users spam markings and views that fit certain criteria (they have less than a certain number of posts, 80% of their posts are in the last day/week/month, their account was after the algorithm was implemented, etc.. to prevent abuse). Anything marked as spam could be moved to a different sub forum and deleted every 2 weeks if it isn't moved by admins....
Please bump if you agree so someone will see this post

The reason why this hasn't been implemented is cos then anyone would be able to mark and move anyone as spam ddoooooooooohhhhh algorithm that in your pipe n smoke it ha ha ha ha ha ha ha joke nah this is the reason why this sort of code ain't allowed

There could be several reasons it isn't being implemented.
It might also add to server loads.
The SR staff have more important things to worry about (security), and the 50 posts was implemented as a quick fix.

interesting :D

I'm going to guess the other issue is that the forum is running Simple Machines. So unless it's something Simple Machines added themselves or maybe a very trusted secure plugin/addin, that would mean having to modify the PHP to add this feature.
