Is there a way to flag repeated titles?

So we don't end up with the stolen credit card spammers filling the discussion list?

Use the report the thread button and we will get to it. its the triangle with the ! under each post.

Um, what he meant(I think) is almost always the person posts the same title. IS there anyway to prevent the SAME title from being used in different forums?

As an after thought, do you want us to flag each and every post, or just one, because I just flagged only one in the most recent spam attack. . .(which as 5 threads right now)

For example, we have a function that disables two searches within 10 seconds. Would there be a way for the forum to recognize someone trying to post, "sell cvv good..." ten times within a few minutes.

One is fine Vern, provided it's the same guy. All his threads disappear once he is banned.

Ooops, I forgot the "sarcastic" tag on my post.

Why would you be making sarcastic comments about spammers? Are you slighted by having to endure them? Stay away for a while then, but don't make snide remarks about a problem everyone knows about.

No, silly!

The sarcastic tag was for the (comment about the) flag, not the spammers!

Well, no matter. I just thought that preventing the SAME title from being posted in multiple forums to bypass the filters in use would be a good idea/suggestion.

BUT....Think about all the threads with the title-> Help Me

I'm rather certain vBulletin doesn't have this filter.
