in thread Anti-Spam: Quarantine section?

OK I know your point of view and I won't argue...

But out of curiosity, what exactly is the approval system good for?

    If you vote for a node (be it + or -), you can see how others vote for the same node. If you are interested in the reputation of nodes you did not author nor vote for, you can get a vague image by turning the option to sort replies by reputation on.

    For nodes you authored, see Re: Zen and the art of ignoring XP.

      I wasn't talking about voting or reputation, but about the benefit of "approving" new nodes.

      Whatever, I think a "Quarantine" section to move the junk away from the list views till they are reaped is a useful idea. Though I don't think it will ever be implemented. :)

        As I said, "But that would just push the spammers to a different posting strategy".

        I don't like spelling out instructions for spammers, but I'm pretty sure that they would figure it out, even though you haven't: (instructions removed).

        Oh, I missed the context :-(
