Possibly a good idea... but remember the moderators can't scour the site of the constant spam that goes on here.

lol, dismerits. I think you might want demerits.

Anyways, if you spam, your spam is deleted so you lose those points anyway. If there were demerits, it would unbalance the post comment ratio, and we would have users with negative points.

This idea has been shut dow nbefore.

The mods could just ban if there were any offences commited, like usual...

Um, actually this is a good idea besides the fact it would be a TON of work for Moderaotrs.

But you would lose 3 AP for spamming...
2 AP = Comment
-2 AP = Comment deleted
-1 AP = For spamming
You would actually lose about 3 AP is you do so that could be a good reason.

We already have a system. Delete spam > Warn > Ban > Ban&Warn > Ban

Plus, you could end up with negative AP.

As for the members that really do not care about AP, as it has no real value at all, it would not work. As i've said before, the mod's would jsut ban.

People that don't care about AP don't spam intentionally.

That brings up an excellent point.

So you're saying that every person that doesn't especially care for AP would spam? That would be a good reason not to spam, as there would be no positive outcome, but they could still spam just for the fact that they can.

ex. spam still occurs on other forums that have no system of post count or "AP".

This is very correct, if that rule was in effect, it wouldn't stop people from spamming. the poeple who try to earn AP usually watch how they are typing, rather than those would could care less and wright what ever

As they are the ones that usually become active, and in that period of activity, they usually learn that AP is not as valuable as when they first joined.

/case closed? lol

I suppose you're right there.

I can't remember why the mods locked this last topic...

Mods should intervene with this. Mods have lives to live to. they can't spend countless hours fixing thousands of Mistakes.
