@jakebeal for general reference: the regular spam flag is better than a custom diamond flag for spam posts, because 6 regular spam flags will delete a post immediately. That way spam can be made to disappear even if no moderators are around for a while.

(It's not really necessary to raise a custom flag to tell us an account is spam-only)

Is there a spike in spam posts, or is it just that I am looking more than usual?

@Davidmh It's a spike. It's one persistent spammer who keeps coming back for more

I notified the SE team, hopefully they can do something about it; in the meantime, just keep flagging

(using regular spam flag, that is; 6 of those automatically delete the post and also help feed the spam detection system)

@ff524 OK, will do in the future.
