Good grief it's now 8.40am and there's still loads of spam there. Is nobody from MSE on duty yet? Surely someone from the FT covers the forum overnight....
obviously not
If they gave some BGs the power to zap these wretched spammers they wouldn't last very long because we are obviously more active at all hours than the 9 to 5 that seems to be covered ATM.0 -

Ouch!
Honestly @MSE, that is not your user's job.
Spam button is fine for some small scale or sporadic stuff, but users should not be having to do this just to be able to have the board they like in a useable state!Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
