Considering that such threads take up 70% of the new posts, I'd like to draw your attention to an idea I posted in another thread.
To sum it all up, my idea is to
The friend code section would perfectly work without all the extra threads for "Insane Killaz", "Godz of War" or simply "Add me, guyz". There already moves towards it (like the stickied threads for Mario Kart & Guitar Hero), but I believe people are simply too blind to notice those.We should make general exchange code threads (for each game one) and one general clan thread plus disable thread adding permission in those sections to avoid such massive spam.
To sum it all up, my idea is to
- lock all currently existing standalone threads and move them somewhere unaccessible (posts don't get lost, but the threads themselves disappear)
- disable the permission for normal users to post threads, so we can avoid further spamming
- open up general threads for important title (Mario Kart, Brawl, CoD:R, etc.), a thread for clans and maybe a request thread, so that new games can be added
