Seriously, /cc @ceruleanspark Can I just write a plugin to autoban anyone whose first notice is "."?

@redenchilada First there was the plugin "First post can't be a link" Now you want . or , to be first post, they break through the plugin once they will do it again
-
@darkw00d Okay then, if their first post has no alphanumeric characters then?
-
@meloetta Just not sending the notice is different from "Your account has been automatically silenced due to your first post being similar to spambots' first posts. The site staff have been notified and will correct this automatically if this is an error."
-
@redenchilada So if a new account is made, posts something stupid as the first post, then posts a link it will be detected as a bot. And if one slim chance it's not a bot?
-
@meloetta Just if it posts "." or "," or "!#$@" or something as its first post. Most actual people will post a word of some sort. And if it's not a bot... that's what notifying all staff is for. So it can be corrected.
-
@redenchilada I see now, that's more clever.
-
@redenchilada I like that idea

@redenchilada 1) Posts must contain a minimum number of words 2) Words are defined as groupings of 2 or more letters separated by spaces. 3) None of the words can be a link 4) You must make 5 or more posts containing "words" before you can post a link. 5) Automatically nofollow all links posted to the timeline.
