    I highly doubt that would solve the issue. accidental spam (double posting) is now impossible, and the rest who are spamming intentionally aren't going to read the rules anyway.

    Have a reCaptcha on the commenting area for creations. Have a verification through email, and have a requirement of a time wait or post goal to access the rest of the forums.

    Or you know, you could implement a script that redirects New Users to the Forum Rules, and for a certain amount of time, they can't leave.

    Um... About the no-close idea:
    There was only 1 way how to do it: With a lot of javascript alerts. Problem: Chrome allows blocking extra dialogues. I dunno about the others.
    Browsers don't allow for blocking [x] buttons.
    Leaving is unblockable.. Only for programs are leavings blockable: Idea! Implement rules into game, give bonuses for agreeing and following the rules, etc etc?

    A redirect sounds good
    lol maybe like http://20b.org where you try and close it and it doesnt, it just brings up alert messages.

    ps go to that website

    i'm bringing this back, because i have an idea:
    we make sure you are re-directed to the what not to suggest thread, so that people who are not intentionally spamming don't suggest things like moving solids
