Limit the number of different people you can PM within a 24 hour period. What should this number be? Does not stop people signing up for more than one account though.
Or we could just limit the number of PM's for members with a Karma under a certain threshold that are less than a couple weeks old.
Have a reporting system where if a PM is reported as being spam by someone then that account is flagged for attention and all other PM's from that person are flagged.
Install a spam filter of some sort. These work well but usually need a large training set to do so. I'm not sure how well they would work on Orble.
Any other ideas?
Jon.

How about this? -- A default daily cap of 5 personal messages for users with karma of 2 or 1.
If you're very PM-active, I'd imagine you're going to have at least 3 karma...

Ahmed -- we will try the cap first and if it looks like they are signing up and sending messages automatically we will introduce image verification somewhere in the process.
