Here is one:

Find a way to SPAM THE SPAMMERS WITH SPAM OR SOMETHING!

I don't care how, just please do it.

What do the spam posts all have in common?

They ALL are original posts!

You NEVER see an ad for "Voodoo Love astrology" as a response in an existing thread.

So since the spammers never make response posts in existing threads why do the captcha's make us jump through hoops when we make response posts in existing threads?

It makes sense to have captchas for original posts that start threads. But not for the response posts.

The captchas for response posts are a just useless defense erected to stop the enemy from a direction from which the enemy never attacks.

Make it so that threads containing "vashikaran", "baba" or phone numbers are not creatable.

I think we should have a username policy on WP. Usernames containing e.g. "vashikaran", "babaji", "molviji", cuss words, negative stuff about autism (e.g. "autismsucks" or "vaccinescauseautism") or another person (e.g. "(person)isaloser") shouldn't be allowed.

Not to bring up a topic from another thread...but: I looked at the registration form and a few posting forms, and this site does not have a "honeypot"-- it's the first line of protection against bots. It's like having sex with a stranger, using no condom, and expecting the day after pill to kill the HIV... Sorry, only prevents pregnancy, not STDs. So if someone would kindly slap a condom (honeypot) on the website, we wouldn't be getting infected so often. It's not a complaint, a demand, or even a request-- it's merely a fact: honeypots catch bots.

An option to 'like' individual posts in a thread. It might be a good psychological lift for those new to WP who have gone through hours, maybe days or even weeks of anxiety about making their first post. And as most of us know, anxiety in us ASD guys & girls, can be all consuming. I think it could help if an individual, even if not replied to directly with another worded post, could see that they have been liked & recognized on the forum. I know it would have helped me.

If you like someone's posts, tell them.

i think the potential for good outweighs the potential for bad if we had a like button. there are many times i've wanted to like a post to give positive feedback when i had nothing else to add worth another post. the person would then have known of my support. you can't protect everyone from everything.

There is a button to the lower left labeled "PM". It is used to communicate thoughts and feelings to other people, and to let them know of your support.

Clicking on a "Like" button is a lot like prayer - it's the least amount of effort you can put forth and still feel that you've done something important.

Sometimes you like somebody, but they don't like you that much. I find, that finding a middle ground, is a much preferred, more sensible option. (For all parties).
I much prefer to hold my own in an argument though. A grudge can be brushed off lightly, if the recipient does a little more than just take first notice of one side. If one person is going to crow loud, adjust to whatever incoherence is met, before taking stock of all labelling costs that fuel the unnecessary demands for newly improved material.

giving positive reinforcement ought to be as easy as possible, making it more likely and frequent.

Is there any possibility to either not make it obligatory to choose a gender, or have a third gender "other" as an option? It annoys me a little.
