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.

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

Uhh... Looks like you ARE a protector now 
|

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

I am not mad that they didn't include me. Perhaps the hamsters think I am more focused without the Protector powers.

I know it is very bad to ask, but if the forge is still active, I'd be more than happy to wear a ring as well ( but then you'd also need a seventh ring to rule them all ).

I will also gladly wear a ring to help fight spam.

You should suppress some spammer accounts (like aghoribabaji and Sk Swami ...)

Facing the current spam overflow, a new feature might be a good idea:
If someone signs up for CP and his email address was banned 3 times before the email address is locked out from signing up for the next year or two.

And what's to stop the spammers from creating new email addresses? The database would pretty quickly become bloated with randomly generated single-use addresses.

Have a look at the Article Writing forum: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1641/Article-Writing.aspx[^] and the whole of the first page and most of the second is "Message automatically removed" after a astrology spam cleanup.
Perhaps a permission extension to allow Protectors to delete automatically removed message threads? We are here more than you, after all...
