Some forum-type websites require people to be members for some period of time/make a certain number of posts before they can start their own threads/add links. That approach was one of the big upsides of the forums from the Taunton group of companies. The mods commented that it was comparatively easy to manage as they didn't have to deal with much spam - they were able to moderate discussions rather than spend time shovelling spam.
That sounds like an interesting approach. If it works, I'm all for it. Someone needs to do something before "taking out the trash" becomes a full time activity every time I log into A2K. (also the high volume of garbage posts have a tendency to obscure the real posts, so I sometimes miss the good ones).
