First, we can already search the forums. Second, it doesn't stop reposts.

1 - New accounts not allowed to post ANYWHERE. Let them download, no posting.
2 - If enough people make complaints against a particular account, make the account 'post after review'.
Thanks

How about new accounts can only post at most x characters at a time?

Then we use --x until he can't. There probably is a minimum that we can use.

True. How about new accounts have a nuisance character limit for posting and are not allowed to use any html tags?

That would work too but is probably more complex.

True.
http://forums.asp.net/[^] follows this practice. All new accounts are routed through a stringent moderation practice and only after the credibility of the posting accounts are established, the accounts are flagged 'Fit for Posting Directly'

Or how about, until you have shown that you can be trusted and post without bothering people, you can not post HTML. In other words, posting in HTML becomes an earned reward.
Maybe a mentoring group for new accounts? Although the number of new accounts on a daily basis likely makes this an unworkable solution.

This sounds workable.
Actually, this could take care of 1 and 2.
Earn HTML rights after posting an article (after the article is moved from -unedited- status) or making x number of posts in the forums. If enough people make a complaint about abusing HTML -- loss of HTML posting rights.

any chance you can move the abuse and/or delete links to the top before the message? This way such assholes such as Byle can delete their messages if they truly are testing it. Also, CP admins could then delete it without resorting to the database.

When byle hacked the lounge, I clicked on some of the links in the summary window (forgot the name) in the top right corner. None of the ones that came after his message came through. Does CP parse all messages per forum from top to bottom to get to the one we need?

Yes, it does. You mcan either use normal view which will eliminate the problem outright, or you can modify the next/prev links to skip over the dud messages. The last parameter is the starting message:

I see. That's okay, I prefer the Message View so I can see all replies. Makes it easier to browse especially with CPhog enabled.

Same problem here in the Lounge. I ended up replying to my own post. 
Cheers,
