    +1 Agree

    We should also consider a European Moderator to tackle this as during the day in Europe we suffer the spamming a lot waiting for a mod to come online and delete it (either that or force the mods to work night shifts! - Only joking!).

    They'd have to pay me double.

    A European moderator is a good idea but aside from that, if 5 people flag a comment as spam, it should sink the comment:

    I do tend to flag them but they rarely get past 3 so they hang around still. Either the community needs educating to do this or the limit reducing to 3 should be enough. I doubt 3 flags is a danger to anyone's post

    ...waits for the flagging to start in his post.

    On top of your Christmas bonus and generous holiday pay this could break GameSalad.

    They are annoying. I google translated one once because it had the name of a local university. Selling diplomas......

    They must just go post on every forum they can find.

    They have been pretty dominant recently, but I think the sous' are doing a good job removing and utilizing the ban hammer. I don't think it's ever been to the point where we can't handle them. Now...We may see a boost in productivity if we happened to get that Christmas bonus. ;)

    Sounds good, but the a$$ h*les are posting dozens of them sometimes - I can't justify walking back and forth through them flagging them while, erm... in work at my day job...

    Maybe set it to 3? :smile:

    At the moment, just flagging "University Of" and/or weird characters / foreign language posts would stop it ALL... :wink:

    3 flags may be a nice change. I've passed this on to ForumNinja.

    Sadly I couldn't find a simple option anywhere to change the required number from 5 to 3. I'll reach out to Vanilla to see if there's something I'm missing or if it's something that needs to be configured elsewhere.

    can't we just release the bees?

    @ForumNinja - Cheers for even checking! - here's hoping there's a mechanism in there to set it so.... :wink:
