Spam Problem [RESOLVED]

there's been an uptick in spam posts lately, and i was wondering if anything could be done about them. i try to report them when i see them, but i'm worried about people clicking the links they contain and going to possibly unsafe websites.

I hear you! This is something we struggle with constantly. I have anti-spam measures in place that currently block, I kid you not, tens of thousands of spam posts per day. But some always get through. I am constantly working to adjust our filters, and spammers are constantly looking for ways to fool them, so now and again there are these breakthroughs where a dozen or so get through at once. I apologize for that.

I promise I'm always working on it, there's just never a solution that lasts more than a month before it needs adjusting again.
