Description

I suggest implementing a "mark as spam" button near each post on the forum. After a post has gathered x spam marks, someone on the team should get an email, suggesting the deletion of said post. The post itself might also be added to the email, in order to simplify the decision.

These looks like dropped by a bot. Maybe we could make the registration slightly different to confuse it/them. Even an extra tick box "I'm not a spam bot" might do it.

Yes, we do that when this kind of cookie-cutter accounts increase their frequency, and it seems it's time again.

Our means for auto-detection are still limited though to avoid distress to legitimate users and accessibility issues.
