SPAMMERS !!!!! -MOVIE LINKS (SOLUTION)

Movie link spammers are making me MAD. Heres what I propose, There should be a restriction of posting questions and answers until a user gas reached,say, level 5. Any other good ideas? Drop please.

i agree with you. but make it until level 2. i have already sent message to Sololearn but no respond. if you and the other sent too, Sololearn might implement it faster.

a time limit between new questions might work too. say if you ask 5 questions within a certain time period you get a timeout. or maybe one question allowed every x minutes. I dunno. the problem with a level restriction is as has been stated. new users need the most help

I think that if a question gets a certain amount of downvotes, maybe within a certain amount of time, that it should be deleted. Or at least hidden from users until it can be properly examined. Maybe it should depend on the user's xp how many downvotes it takes. Any ideas on this?

@Andrew People(spammers) post questions with a good catchy title but the description has only a move link. I dont know why they do this .Like this :- (all of these are deleted,so I cant post, Nice works Sololearn)

we are finding simple solutions. what would be better is if sololearn just checks the post for keys and throws spam out. why restrict new learners ability when as programmers this should be a fixable issue

ok i agree with @dirty joe the most because like some of you have said, its the beginners that need more help. and i think the spammer will get tired of making a new account everytime

I think posters should have to have completed Basic concepts. 2 reasons. 1, spam accounts will have to put in effort everytime they are removed which will irritate them.. and 2, we will avoid the daily question of "which language is right for me" because they will have already had to make that decision
