Just an idea.

Given many folks set and forget postings, one thing I can do (on clrghouz at least), is reject posts (in a specific area) that have the same content as a recent post (configurable by days).

I've thought about doing that for me (that's basically what SBBS can do) - but if that is suitable for those on the hub, I could do that too.

Then, every "x" days, only unique posts would make it through, and thus making the area a little more valuable (for that first time wow ad, etc).

Food for thought.
