| Feb 24, 2013 at 4:00 | comment | added | Clive Mod | @Triskelion Great suggestion, but stopforumspam removed the ability to report activity without 'evidence' last month so there's no way to do that automatically any more. I can see a manual reporting system being a pain to implement, and I don't know if the devs would consider it just for this site. Ditto for the username/email checking service, even though it is very good | |
| Feb 24, 2013 at 0:43 | comment | added | Triskelion | Have you considered integrating the site with stopforumspam.com to try to catch these users before they create an account, or to report their activity for the benefit of other sites? | |

@Clive I wasn't talking about editing the spam posts (I agree totally that they shouldn't be edited). Also, rel=nofollow would ensure no harm technically. I was more concerned about the readability of the question according to future visitors (humans ;-)).

@Indrock The links are all rel=nofollow anyway so removing them is unnecessary. In fact spam posts should not be edited in any way, they should be left exactly as they are, otherwise it might not be obvious to the person handling the flag that the post is indeed spam and they might not delete it. The examples in this question are obviously spam from the titles, but there are much more subtle attempts to spam the site too
