| Spam by new accounts promoting drugs etc seems to be a recurring problem.
I suggest that a feedback rating of 1 or higher be required to post in the forums,
or new accounts could be prevented from creating a new thread for 30 days.

I agree somewhat but see an issue where new buyers with questions are blocked
by this.
A solution might be a captcha (only for your first post) or account activation
per email.

So new users with issues are banned from getting help?

If limited to those with feedback it will turn away many users why are looking
for help and if putting a limit on how many days before they can post wouldn’t
help as then the spammers would simply lets accounts sit for however long before
using them

Im super grateful that I didn't need feedback before posting. There are so
many users on here with tremendous encyclopedic knowledge that provide valuable
support from years of experience.
I can ignore some spammers. Much love, and have an epic day!

This. There are plenty of new buyers who need help before their first sale, but
there are MANY, MANY more potential future buyers who come just to ask questions
about LEGO.

Gummie posts barely hit my radar. I do see them sometimes. I go right by.

Yes. Just report and they quickly vanish if you auto hide cancelled posts. People
that feel the need to reply to them are a bigger problem, so they get added to
the ignore list.

Voted No. I'd rather deal with a little spam than not help new users with
questions. Bricklink is not the easiest site to use, especially if you're
new.

Sounds like solid and simple solution, except for as others have mentioned; the
whole newbie needing help, factor.
Spam has never really bothered me here in the forum, you just kinda roll past
it. But it would be a good thing to keep it away. How about restricting the ability
to use links within posts for zero feedback members, or something along those
lines?

Voted No, explained why a couple of times.
I would better limit total number of posts to the total rate of the Feedback
Profile!
This way SylvainLS wouldn't be able to post anymore hee hee
