@skymningen Great question. For the purposes of flagging spam, we try to draw the line at what seems to be "bot style spam" so someone who doesn't have an active account history, isn't trying to pretend to be offering advice, but is just blanketing the forums with links. If you see non-english characters, links to download movies, international phone numbers, etc... these are all indicators of "bot style spam". If someone is posting things like "message me for more information" or otherwise trying to push their MLM schemes, then please use the Flag > Report Post > Advertising instead of the spam flag. Thanks!2 -

From a quick look at the mod list and a search of the forums, only 3 of your mods have been active in the last week - 1 of them hasn't posted in months. I also don't think you have any mods who aren't US based (and therefore likely asleep). Maybe a recruitment or 2 might be necessary?
Ugh. My apologies we had such a bad spam attack that didn't get addressed by moderators for hours. We do have an international moderator in the English forums but I agree we could use more "overnight" coverage and we will try to get someone on board before the new year. If anyone has suggestions for international moderators (or hey if you are a night owl who is *consistently* on overnight in the US, that works too) please let us know here.2 -

using the "Flag" feature which appears bottom left of the post :
My brother, put SPAM text there not a FLAG text.
With FLAG you usually mark a place where you want to go or a success.
I personally thought I was marking a post I wanted to follow.
And do not disable this posts - disable links from them, make nofollow for SEO and color them in gray or leave a "spam" button that can reveal the original message.
There are people who maks posts to harm, without motive.2 -

I wish there was a mod-like spam handler designation: someone who has the ability to silence spam accounts. I would not take on mod responsibilities, but I would gladly volunteer to nuke spam.3

I can't block a member from posting, but one of my spam flags = five spam flags so the post is removed. Perhaps if you contact one of the staff members and ask for the same spam nuking rights that I have 3
