with the recent spam attacks with new accounts being registered and quickly spamming all over the forum (in particular the blog section, but it happens outside too), a flood check needs to be implemented for new users. that is, when a new user makes a post, a new post can't be created for a certain amount of time like 30 seconds or 60 or something.

I think this would really slow down spammers before they can spread to multiple posts quickly, and legitimate new users most likely wouldn't post that many posts fast enough to activate the check.

apologies if this is already in place, I'm not aware of anything like that right now.

I highly doubt Nintendo would hire a troll, especially one that posts gore. It's just some butthurt kid.

They could, instead, do what I do! Which is... well, is nothing most of the time. But that's better than spamming, right?
I'd wish they did nothing. The spam is getting worse each time. How messed up do you have to be to think that's okay? Not to mention, what the hell happened to this kid to start spamming like that?

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
