You could do fancy things to get a correlation function for two messages, e.g. leave away all non-alpha-num chars and do the histogram (kind of finger-print of a message). If another message is similar (not exactly the same), you get notified that a similar message already exists... 
But I think to start with, restricting the number of questions per time interval (day?) is good enough to fool spammers.
Thinking about it, it's a lost game: one might then move on to use "Reply" for spamming, etc. Restricting the number of comments per time interval is not feasible...  .

My suggestion is,
Question must be approved by minimum 3 or 5 Members like Approving Articles/Tips,etc.
if the Question got approved then visible in QA queue else don't .

A question is a bit different to an article/tip: with an article/tip, you can ask for a certain form and level of content. With questions, what are the generally accepted criterion to pass the filter? Spam falls through, of course (but still may fill up the input queue). What about homework assignments, "Google is your friend" kind of questions (the lazy ones), etc.? The ratio of articles versus questions is probably in the range 1/10 to 1/100: who is willing to assess that amount of questions on a regular base?
Cheers

It sounds like "approve-system". I think it's impossible to move attention to all posted messages, questions.

Oh, you're talking about your profile page(Group profile).
I think you're doing it wrong. Yes, see below.
CP Group is similar to Groups of Virtual communities like Social networks. You could create a separate place for your people based on criteria(like technology, oganization, country or something else).
I'll give you a real example. Apriorit Inc[^] is one of the most famous CP groups. That's an organisation & 31 members contributed their works here by using a Group(You have an option to include co-authors for your articles while submitting. They did the same. So the group profile displays aggregated sum(61) of all 31 members articles). So far they have posted 61 articles here during last 6 years. That's really a very big contribution. And they won bunch of awards too. See their profile page for more details.
And check this CodeProject Member FAQ[^] page for more info.
Your group name reminds me of only two things. Vijay Mallya & ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

... can you keep the "improve question ... " visible after the question is marked as spam or better still make it permanently visible on mouse over so we can see the action was done correctly and not have to mouse over it again.

I'd suggest to to add functionality to QA forum - voting system, which enforces user to post few words of comment in case of downvote. It might help members to improve their answers.

I see your point, but it might increase a lot the noise. In my opinion it is enough with the articles.
People doesn't giving any feedback now, won't give any reasonable feedback if forced to write
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thank you for your comment, Nelek.
I don't think that it might increase a lot of noise. Instead of that, it might decrease the number of unreasonable downvotes
Cheers,

When posting a spam report which includes a link to the spam message the report message itself may be detected as spam (by the words contained in the spam message subject which are part of the message link) and put into the message moderation queue.
It seems that users moderating your report messages did not recognized that they were reports but pressed the spam delete button (your last message in the spam forum is 24 hours old).
Hopefully your account will be re-activated soon by an administrator.

It seems that the mechanism does not include QA, but other forums only...Or it refreshes a bit slowly for such an attack we have here in last two days...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
