Just askin'.
just a choice I guess. Positive moderation on first posts would be another option ie needs to be approved by a human. Blocking *.in is another (done by my local library).0 -

Should we bother to remove old ones? Quite a few of the format
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 9
from 2013.0 -
Not sure I would bother, there is a lot of them but I imagine there won't be too many people looking at those old posts. How did you discover them?0

Don't worry so much about those
The new posts trying to sell.. well.. all-sorts (I'm sure I've seen it all) and direct you to the furthest parts of the internet are the ones we are concentrating on the for the most part!
(Oh and those pesky astrologers! Of course!!)
Great job everybody, keeping this place spam free a day at a time!!

To be fair I wasn't so much 'saying' anything with it.. I just really like the gif(hey, what could possible beat a cute hedgehog at breaking up spam!!)!!
I like this thread, it's great to see everybody really getting stuck in and helping rid our awesome community of spam!!
Believe me, we really do our best to permanently ban the spammers as soon as we can!0 -
Bump.....
Be nice if a flag button could sit on top of posts as well as the bottom...some of the spammer posts are so long!0 -

They must be doing a really good job. I unhid all the categories and couldn't find anything in the first two pages of recent discussions

And then one shows up in Fitness and Exercise. Pretty blatant title though!

I have flagged it, but it is really against the rules, the spam flag is for botspam only, and this must have been posted by a person.

For posts like those I think it's more effective to report it for advertising instead of flagging it as spam.
