RE: Cleaning up Spam is like Raking Leaf Litter
Hi @public-eye, I can’t help but have a little smile when I see you got only 29 views, but 76 upvotes for this post! Well, at least my vote is from a real human and not a spam robot.
Did you know you can use this tool to help confirm possible spammers:

I am all for flagging comment spam and do it often. I have never had any problem of flag wars because of this. I always warn the spammer about his behaviour and then check back the next day. He gets flagged if he does not heed the warning.
When flagging, I deliberately target those spam comments which have been rewarded by the blogger. It takes away his reward to zero. The money is returned to the reward pool.
We have some work to do so ordinary bloggers learn how to check for spam comments before rewarding.
Please keep up the good work, as I will do to. We don’t need those who are here to abuse the reward pool.
