Hi Melanie,
Clearly, the good efforts of the team just aren't working. Last weekend, the "Posts Added Today" link was so flooded with spam, all of the people who needed help were actually knocked off the link.
Today starts the long Thanksgiving weekend and the spammers have already started.
If you were to setup a couple of us old timers so that when we reported spam with the right key words the system would take automated action to delete the posts of the spammer, we'd be happy to help you keep things clear. I can't speak for anyone else but I wouldn't report anything using the magic words unless it was totally obvious spam as it has been.
