24 x 7 removal of spam

Giving everybody the ability to tag a topic 'ham' and then automate removing topics with a this tag sounds like it could easily be exploited.

Thanks for the analysis but that was already covered in my proposal under "spam plonking".  Riffraff don't have high enough rank.

Ah so that's what that meant. It was too complicated so I guess I just skipped it.

As far as I can see you only can tag a message, not a topic (thread) :-)
What will happen when spam answers to a thread are tagged with spam - only check the first message?

My original comments were for spam topics.

In the reply case you probably need a human.

Yes, but again:
I can see only to tag a message, not a topic, so how will you identfy a spam topic?

[Dennis Handly]

>so how will you identify a spam topic?

The first post == topic, being spam.

Rats, the spammers have won!  :-(

I can't post a message about spam removal because I get the new anti spam message:
The message body contains live+stream+Watch, which is not permitted in this community. Please remove this content before sending your post.

The strange thing is, how can the spammer post the message but I can't post a message including the URL to the spam?

Actually if you look at the tag page carefully, it tells you how:
