    I'd be interested to see if there is any way to automatically monitor how fast a user posts and brick them from posting until an admin or moderator can check on what's happening and manually unlock an accounts posting rights if there's more than 10 - 20 posts made in 2 - 5 mins or crosschecking a users posts to see if they're the same as their previous posts. It'd also stop hijacked accounts (not that I've seen it happen yet) as well as new user spam bots.
