No Spam Tag

I think it's fine as it is and Vibs is being lazy.

cookie given ;-)

How about being able to see cookie'd posts as mentioned earlier up the thread. Does that tick a box or do we want cookies to be anonymous ?

I'd say keep them anonymous, and instead show increasing numbers of cookies and crumbs as the background of the header image for each post instead

I think that tags are ignored for post length checks, though I could be wrong.

Yeah, in general, I'm not seeing a strong case for a change of this sort here. That said, I also don't use any of the Like (or Dislike) features in most other places, with the exception of YouTube where it somewhat effects what it throws up as recommendations for me, and thus has some impact on my experience of the site.

Not closing the discussion, mind you, just not convinced that either post lengths should be allowed to be shorter, or that THN needs a Like function instead or as well as cookies.

Did anything come of this? Since reading this thread i have found myself 'liking' things on other forums rather than replying, in part because who like'd (and dislike would be nice too) is visible.
Also the mpuk forum has this:

Which is a post with all the text contained withn <> making it only show up when you click reply, which while odd does allow for short posts than 5. Of course, i am aware that its an admin setting, but bots and spammers wont know that.

This and many other good ideas are parked for now - both Ronin and I are effectively off duty due to real life stuff. Its not gone away or forgotten but we're not in a position to act on anything short of a crisis just now.
