Flag as "Spam", or, in case of "serial-spammers" send a report to the moderators.
Either usually works fine.0 -

I agree. This morning has been horrendous. I'd like nuking abilities too in order to remove these posts and be able to silence that poster until a mod comes in.2 -

Same here. I am furiously marking as spam, but surely this level of posting has now flagged up as bot spamming?1

It probably is, but may not do any good. This bot has a curious behavior. It's deleting and re-creating the same account after a certain number of posts.1 -
That makes sense. I was wondering why the number of posts under their avatar never exceeded 10. Mind you, it may pick up an ip address.
They need mods in time zones outside of the US.0 -

I thought that was just down to the posts being removed for moderation and it being the number of actual posts they still had "live" it was 14 posts at one point.
Edited to add, just tested the theory after being 5th reporter, the number of posts does go down when posts are closed for moderation.0 -

We actually have mods all over the world. The problem sometimes is, they arent always online. Its also why we gave a handful of members to ability to eliminate spam with one report as opposed to 5 reports.3 -
Contacted a German mod about this, sadly he doesn't have moderating rights for the American forum ...1

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
That's an interesting ability. I'll try to contact someone to see if I can have it. I'm often around during spam peak hours.0 -

Ah, I see. I had noticed that spam tends to stay up longer earlier in the day (GMT), when the US is still asleep. Thanks for the clarification :-)

Are you still seeing them? I nuked a bunch of them a bit ago, so it may have taken time to filter down, but I am not seeing any BDT in the forums.0 -

@Hearts_2015 - Anything doesn't go in chit chat. If it gets reported and deemed a violation of community guidelines, moderators take care of it. It doesn't matter what sub-forum it's in. The problem is, not all content that violates CGs gets reported, so we often don't see it. There are only a handful of moderators, and there are thousands of posts each day. It would be virtually impossible for us to review all the posts, so we rely on user reports. 2 -
