Accounts have to be verified/ authorised manually, so that sifts out most of the spammers. Couldn't we let people just post in the normal way after that, and rely on the report system to deal with any spammers who get through? I worry that a somewhat clunky user experience in the first few posts might put people off. I know that if I signed up for somewhere and my posts didn't appear immediately I posted them I would probably trot off to pastures new.
