PSA / anti-spam

[jonnin]

Hey,
If you see one of the idiot 'I had this problem too and I solved it by going to crappy website at http/imanidiot.com ' type posts,

report it
use the keyword 'spam' as the reason
and the post will be deleted if your account has more than some N posts (not sure what N is).

the post must have a link in it or it won't be deleted, as best I can tell.
Ive removed like 10 of them today. And there are a couple that are reported but not removed.

Not the ingenious PSA. It is a forgettable procedure. But thank you, for long I have desired to possess the ability to produce a creative Public Service Announcement script.

*Obscured view becomes clearer*
*It is clear the surge of posts are spam, one distinguishable message appears and reads*
*Delete spam forthwith*
*Another akin*
*Before you can't*

Heh, looks like the spammer is going report happy. Sucks to be them.

Is there any point to a coherent report message?
All I do is some quick rattle "dggd" across the middle of the keyboard and press submit.
It isn't worth any more effort.

The idea I suppose was for admins like the site owner to look at the reports and decide for themselves when the report was not against a new account and such. But since no one looks at it 🤷‍♀️
