    What I see most of the time in these spam posts is a whole list of links. The entire post has nothing but links. Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to at least flag posts like this from users with say < 10 points and more than 1 link? At least then a person could look at them before they get splattered on the site.

    We've been down this avenue before (coming up with great suggestions for filtering – we'd be spam-free by now if some of them had been implemented). I am really hoping that this new software has the flexibility to accommodate ad hoc rules like this.

    Yeah it kind of feels like groundhog day all over again. :crying:
