They lowered the permission gap to delete certain stuff after the previous LiveStream spam storm.
I was able to delete Q&A comments long before I got the protector status.

It might be an idea to add a sticky to explain that you shouldn't edit spam QA posts (ref: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4462092/Live-streamers.aspx[^]) - I've had to remind people a coupe of times this week, and havign a sticky there explainign why would be a good place to point!

I think people edit posts in order to remove the spam due to uncertainties in how long it will take for a message or post to be nuked. I'm not averse to this - as long as the spam also gets reported.

It's terrible to start a day like this 
Sorry for the bump.
0) Limit the posts of new spammers[^]
1) Limit the posts based on time intervals. This one[^] did post 30 spam messages with 1 min interval. (EDIT : 2 more messages after some time)
2) More Protectors[^]
3) Don't show "Message Automatically Removed" threads. Since yesterday, I saw couple of forums with half pages of those threads. Uncategorised posts[^] forum's first page has only those threads.
4) Any possibilities on Ban IP[^]?
5) After banning the spammers, remove their messages automatically if possible.

The tool tip for the rating for Q/A questions seems to be including some markup:
Rating = 1.75 (<span itemprop="ratingCount" class="count">3</span> votes)
Chrome Version 32.0.1700.107 m
[Edit]
More info: it is only AFTER I vote on the rating for the question, and haven't yet left the page.
If I leave and come back, I must re-vote to see it.

The protectors cannot remove spam messages I'm afraid. I wish we could, but we can't.
|
|
|
|

Yes, you right. Atleast they could delete Q/A section spams. In past I had that power(not protector, only the delete question power) & deleted more than bunch of reposts(after merged content of two questions).

There needs to be extra verifications and validations to avoid spammers

Done. Our world was in peril. We will no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our site. We gave five magic rings to five special people.

The protectors need the ability to remove nuked threads though. The .NET Framework forum, for instance, is a complete mess.

I just noticed the bomb icon when you mouse over a message. But it's not working for me(power issue). I think it should work for protectors. Give a try

It doesn't. It never has for protectors. And yes, I recently retried it.

I thought bomb icon would hide "Message automatically removed" threads.

Consider him[^] too. Take a look at his organiser points & group.
Or he'll get mad
