Banning people due to bad requests is excessive. I believe that it would turn away users as fast as they found us.
Implying people actually make an account that they wont forget forever just like this site because they just wanted to make a hack request that 99% of the time is against the rules (look at the hack requests how many of these users have you actually seen making more than one post?)
Well they appear more and more like spambots because they keep spamming the request hack despite there being GUIDELINES and yet they keep spamming and spamming and spamming again!
Imagine how many new hack requests made every day. 99.99999% of them are against the guidelines or already done. This is so annoying and it is tiring the heck out of everyone trying to tell them "it is already hacked" or "multiplayer games are not allowed" until their fingers bleed and their finger bones shatter. It is so annoying!
Another idea hit me.
There is a link field in the request form.
If there was validation from a database (i.e. database of previously requested links, regardless of allow/diallowed), check against.
Give the user the link.
Tell them it's already been requested.
Issue time lockout from requesting (1min).
1 min is too little. maximum/minimum could be 3 mins since its not too short or too long
Still here. #UnofficalCommunitySupportVolunteerForTheWin !
3 minutes can be minimum. If they still spam, 5 mins, then 10 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, and then a whole day. If they still spam the hack request, infractions could start, and infraction x 3 = ban. Bye bye hack request spammers!
This could be a good filter that could save us from being literally driven insane by these hack request spammers.
The hack request spammers are making people go:

I've talked with the staff. They've decided (@Xnite) to add some things to the request filter for our sanity after I sent some messages out.
Huge round of applause to Xnite for doing this!Originally Posted by Xnite
