Unfortunately they are against the rules, since the only board in which they were allowed (spam section) has been in read-only mode since 2012. D:

However there is #omnimaga-spam on OmnomIRC or IRC and another more productive suggestion would be to help reviving OmniRPG, which was a calc game IIRC. (There's a few topics somewhere)

A potential solution would be to not count posts from certain boards, although I'm not certain SMF can do that...

I'm sure posts in Humor And Jokes (and in Spam) don't count, so SMF does support that. But that's not the point, it is just that some users would post a lot in non-relevant topics instead of discussing in relevant ones.

^This. The New Posts list would be constantly cluttered with new threads from spam. Hopefully when the site will be upgraded, maybe admins could find a way to ignore certain sub-forums or allow users to ignore humor/jokes and spam. Even then, though, I feel it would be more productive if the said users spend more time and effort programming than just flooding. Quality > quantity.

I don't think that'll happen for said reasons, plus i don't think SMF2.x allow you to do that >.<
