I implemented the addon.

I have currently set the limit to minimum 5 posts to post a link.
This has greatly decreased the posts by those spam bots.

Though it doesn't stop them from signing up, at least it cuts down on the spammy posts.
Lets see how effective this is, in the long run.

I'll increase the limit to 10 (max.) if needed in future.

Shout box.
I think we have to remove when we get lot of members.
It will be useless to chat 15 people together.

Yep. Shoutbox is a BIG resource hog.
It will definitely slow down the site a lot if we don't restrict it's access afterwards.

I'm thinking of placing a restriction that only users with 50+ posts
will be able to enable / see / use the shoutbox.

What you think about shout box for staff members only.

Would feel a bit empty if we do that!

But yeah... that would be a good solution if the server load remains high,
(even after implementing the 50+ post count limit)

50 posts for a signature is like asking too much!

A lower limit like... 5 or 10 posts for a signature to be activated,
seems fine.

I'll add this to my to-do list.
There are a couple more permission and forum structure changes coming soon.
