Maybe if I started doing what it says in the forum rules about topic subjects people would start posting better:-

Quote Use descriptive Topic Subject.  This will help others find what they want to read. Topics with bad Topic subjects maybe deleted!

what about the fact that each post link has a hover function that shows a little bit of the post...

It's very much like spam! You don't know what you're getting until you open it.

Or how about they are just deleted as soon as they are posted?

That kind of a mod is not really possible. It is theoretically possible, but ASP is the wrong language to use. At a minimum you would want a custom component or ASP.NET simply because it would be processing intensive.

You could do a quick hack for it, but you would suffer from reliability issues - many posts would trigger false positives.

A really good implementation would require a low level programming language like C or even lower. Other compiled languages would suffice, but they would still soak up a lot of CPU power.

The main problems would be spell checking, thesaurus lookups, grammar checks, and the speed to do those. At some point you would need a custom word density check, but that would make the problem even worse.

In short, "Abandon all hope ye who enter here..."

LOL BlueFrog, well thank you for that great explanation!!   I was thinking something more along the lines of like the bad word filter....

Oh well that's OK!! Borg still has his trusty DELETE button!
