I'm glad to see something was finally done about this. It should really bump the quality of the forum up. People shouldn't really spam the hell out of the forum just for an award. This forum offers a lot of stuff that Hack Forums doesn't, it's two different communities entirely. It's good to see Sam has decided to handle this as well.
I thought it would be more than he could handle, until I read Omni's post above, should be easy enough for him.
Every forum will have spammers. This isn't going to be the perfect solution to stop it, as a whole. But it will still help the forum a little bit, which is good to see.

Like I said, it will probably stop the award, but that's not the concern here, it won't stop the spamming. They are not going to fill in the form before they meet the requirements, so they're going to go try to meet the requirements first, and the main thing they are thinking is "100 posts..."
