Ok, this idea may sound really stupid but I'm hoping if we can get the active community members clicking on individual links (yes, its similar to clicking ads on certain places in order to support the place of one's interest) that are related to spam. We can possibly tell moderators to look at these reported threads first.

For some reason I'm thinking their report system is setup in a way of having the amount of clicks for each reported post. The higher the number of clicks on a specifically reported post the higher it will show on the moderator's list for reported post.

I am also hoping for moderators to also delete the spam threads along with banning the user by their IP address to prevent spams from new username but same IP address instead.

Obviously in the long haul I/We would like to see a security boost on the talk.maemo.org in a manner similar to what JohnLF wrote.

In the meantime I hope people would continuously click on spam threads whenever possible. No you will not get a reward apart from helping out the community.

Below is a list of corresponding thread topics, spammer's username and the link to report:

Hmm, if only the mods can restrict the number of characters for 1st time poster, at least it wont occupy big pages in the google reader feed.

At least put this limitation for 14 days:
1. Limit the number of characters
2. Restrict the number of thread post it can create
3. possible to restrict html link for first time poster :P

All right thats it. I've reported spam at approximately the same rate that jackass "broadcast" has created new threads.

Where do I sign up to be a mod and wield a banhammer against numbnuts like this?

All these spammers are states side, why cant they have more control over there???.

The mods are not coming on here so much now as they occupy other sites.

Only takes one report per spam post to identify but there has to be a mod or someone on here with the capabilities of spam removal.

Now is the time to hand this spam removal over to selected members.

If they do not do something this site will become unusable for sure.

Damn this is one persistent spammer. Where are the mods at? Reporting 1 spam thread per minute is wasting too much time...
