    I've been noticing a lot of abuse of this recently. In fact, there was one discussion I was just reading about bariatric surgery in which every post but two had at least one flag, and the OP had three flags for asking people's opinions on getting it done!

    I see that this was flagged. I currently have 7 flags from talking about or mentioning flags in my posts. I'm wondering when the hilarity will wear off for those who think this is funny.

    And this brings me to 10 total flags. 9 of those are from talking about the flagging feature.

    And there's number 11. Hilarious.

    15 total flags now and 5 of them are because I've been using my flag counts to bump this post so more people can see it. Sorry guys, but I'm done with this bs. Hope others will keep up with the bumping crusade.

    Wow. People really need to start acting their age instead of their shoe size. Flagging posts that there is nothing wrong with what the person said is really immature.

    And please don't use the "abuse" flag as that negates all "spam" flags (don't know why).

    Bump.

    Just a reminder, all we need is five spam flags per post and they will be removed.

    I just did one. I was no 5. Yes it did feel good to have the message, down and taken to moderation.

    Power to the button used properly.

    Yep, and I notice they're able to do multiple posts with the same time stamp. I thought some users had said that was not possible without having to wait... Dang vashkram!!

    It would also help if people were to refrain from commenting on them. The zero makes it easier to catch stuff when scanning quickly over the threads.

    Have been in a bit of a spam-buster mode today, flagged around 20 threads or so. Congrats to those who got to make the final kaboom.

    It is very satisfying being the 5th flagger! :D

    It's that time again :(

    Also- anyone else feel like the spam posts are just random words?

    Some of them are. Depends on which kind of bot you get.

    It seems like the boards move so fast these days that the spam is able to fall to page 5+ before it picks up 5 flags.

    Yesterday I flagged something like 30-40 posts. Might as well have deleted them instantly.
