One report for each spammer is all that is needed. Once we see the one spam post we can also deal with the others at the same time.
Thanks for reporting them.
Thanks for the confirmationThanks for reporting them.
The other reason I stopped reporting all posts from each "spammer" is if you do it too quickly you get caught out by the anti flood system
The irony wasn't lost one me

I'm surprised that a function hasn't been written so that if a thread title contains Call Girl or Escort girl and the user profile is less than 48 hours old that the submission is automatically binned.
Then you just get a gazillion variations on gιrl ģ1rl Ɡ1rḶ etc.We've been chasing our tails with this stuff for decades.

Well I would have thought that any post containing more than about one telephone number of digits would be easy to spot, but what do I know.
You know enough! There's a website I need to use for work which has an algorithm that redacts anything remotely resembling a phone number, using # to replace digits, empirically it looks as though the algorithm picks up anything with 4 or more digits, possibly 5 ,which can be annoying when it's not a telephone number - but it may be tolerable / manageable in this (PH spam) type of situation.You could specify that every new member's first post, or first two/three/five posts, have to be approved by a mod before appearing on the site. Surely that would catch out the spammers as they would have to construct some legitimate-looking posts before being free to post spam. Obviously creates a new layer of work for the mods.
