AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the proposal to create a new subforum to address the increasing spam posts. It is noted that a reporting system is already in place, allowing users to report spam directly, which sends it to the mentor's forum for deletion. Participants express skepticism about the effectiveness of a new subforum, suggesting that existing measures are sufficient. Overall, the forum has implemented most viable options to combat spam. The conversation highlights the importance of utilizing the current reporting system rather than creating additional structures.
