Mods, how often do you have to clean up spammers?

Self-explanatory. I mean no offense really, just curious.

[not a mod says] I think its every single day.

@XOIIO Then I help them every single day too.

Newest mod here – there are dozens of spam accounts created every day. There’s only a handful of us, and there are times when none of us are active, so it is helpful when Jellies use the flag system.

I flag it when I see it!

Mimishu1995's avatar

@hearkat A little too curious, but can you be specific about how the flag system work for mods? For example I see a spam and I flag it, what will you mods see next?

All day, err day. It actually comprises the majority of our work.

@Mimishu1995 – when something is flagged an email goes out that the all mods can see, with a link to the post so we can easily check it out.

@hearkat then do my name appear on the mail too?

PhiNotPi's avatar

@Mimishu1995 Yes, we would know that you were the one who flagged it.

Let’s see, in the 11 hours since this question was asked, 16 spam accounts have been deleted. And that’s unusually few.
