With all the recent spam, would it be a good idea to allow heavily trusted users to blacklist URLS or sites, and then redirect all posts containing them to a blackhole?
Obviously open to abuse/misuse. However, might help control the problem if the spammers never see there posts appear. Would be interesting to test the effectiveness of appearing to accept the message and blackholing silently verses returning Post Not Acceptable messages.

Is it possible to become a protector to be able to lock some account/member in case of spamm posting?
Is it possible to delete question (reported as a 'spamm')?
I declare to protect this site from spammers (etc.). I want to be a protector! Seriously!

Yeah, Chris and Sean (in my case) have got open-minds.
Now, we are able to protect this community from spamm.
Thank you Sean!

If CP still need more protection - I can do work on Sundays (when a large part of CPians out of him/herself)...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Protectors don't lock accounts.
They don't delete questions in the forums - only in QA.
