The only way to stop those borderline-spam posts is to implement a way for Discussions users to read rules that we have designed specifically for them. If they don't know the rules, they're going to continue making these low-quality posts. The rules have to be very visible and easy to understand, such as a very clear "rules" button alongside the Latest/Trending sections for them to see, or something to that effect.

Also, IP bans don't appear to work on Discussions users. I block them for a short time from making posts because they spam, and they make a new account five minutes later and keep posting. The purpose of blocking an account is defeated if IP bans have no effect.
