Not sure how customizable vBulletin is? but what about limiting access to certain sections until 'x' amount of thanks/posts is reached? I've seen other forums where people are limited to certain sections until criteria are met.
ie: 2 'thanks' before you can post in off-topic, 10 before you can create threads in that section....
That way users are 'eased' into the forums.. they can start by posting in troubleshooting sections first, and responding in certain other discussions, then as they contribute more and learn there way around the forum different options are opened up....

I have no idea what I'm doing with brainstorms... quite content just tackling t.m.o for now, so if you want to use all or any part of my idea in the brainstorm feel free

I think there should be a spam button on where you rate the thread and with enough votes the thread gets automatically closed and reported to a moderator...

I have been lurking in TMO for 3 months+ now and have been able to find the answers to every question i could possibly have by using the search options, i think if new users were limited in how and where they could post there would be much less hoax threads as they would be able to get a feel for what is and is not acceptable, also i believe short bans would show people that there are consequences to starting hoax threads, im ashamed to say that the first post i made was to insult the author of one of these hoax threads,
Imo until there are bans/punnishments for starting these threads we will continue to see them.

I understand the April's Fools thing, and indeed, I've seen it in other forums online, but that has nothing to do with the issue we are talking about
.I'll read the braimstorm post and I'll give it a thought... but maybe there should be restrictions only for the creations of new threads (5 to 8 thanks, or something like that) and no for posting in general.
cheers.
