I Want to Improve the Experience Project
Set up a detection system that detects if a string of letters and numbers is spam. Instance, if more than four of the same characters are in a row(paulllllllllll), or several repeated characters (ajajajaja) then have a "spam detection" alert appear. If the person is legit, then they can put a temporary other username, and file an appeal to use a username that has more than four characters or otherwise "detected as spam" username. Again, the spam detection system can be done using functions that calculate whether a string of symbols is repeated over and over again ba<x>sed off of a template. This won't be as effective as the other method I suggested, because EPArsineh doesn't spend 10 hours a day 7 days a week on the Q/A site to know that EP is not really what it's meant to be anymore and is now filled with spam, but it will be far more effective than current procedures, and won't prevent "real" people from posting. It will, however, do a fairly decent job at blocking Baba's posts, since Baba is most likely a bot, and also reduce spam attempts--because in all honesty, it'll be hard for spammers (who have no creativity) to come up with a real username that'll slip past the filters. It's not much, but it's something.
Also, dispatch a bunch of EP helpers on Q/A to camp EP 24/7 to immediately tackle spam questions down and not let them stay up for long.
