Let me know if there is a better place for enhancement requests.

To combat spam, is it possible to enact rules like this?

Can’t post in the first hour of making an account
Can’t create more than 2 accounts per … day? from the same IP
Can’t post more than once every 10 minutes…

    Can’t create more than 2 accounts per … day? from the same IP

    Also this second rule will screw over VPN users like me, so it needs to be reworked as well.

    Rule 1 won’t stop spam, but will slow it down

    Rule 3 isn’t about commenting, just posting. Maybe only active for the first few days after creating an account?

    The idea is to make it a pain in the ass for spammers, but something users can deal with easily.
