I'm not even sure what they gain out of it
currently 5 of them on the front page :/

This is getting old fast :/ Is there anything SE can do here?
 
Not sure, but i think ive flagged about 10 just this morning
I imagine they can ban the users but they are just making more
Back to a clean front page now though at least
 
I'm running out of flags!
I think they can IP block or IP range block. Possibly also MAC address block. Of course both can be spoofed, but we don't know how smart they are :)

@JaneS most likely, anti-spam system isn't yet trained to block this sort of it. Our spam flags are feeding it and will eventually teach it. Anyway, I pinged Programmers folks at Whiteboard to lend us their flags...

lots of free spam flags at Workplace today...
...and MSE folks at the Tavern are also in (they've got "Smoke Detector" bot that feeds links to our spam stuff into their room to take care of it)...

@rene figured I'd lend a hand with the spam flags :)

@gnat Great, thanks! :) I think I'm down to 6 flags left :O
 
@JaneS I have 86 left (that's eighty six). You need more rep or more helpful flags for more headroom. Or win this election :)

A: On the recent changes to flagging and limits

Shog9You start with 10 flags per day. Based on your reputation and flagging history, you can end up with as many as 100 per day. Currently, that means you get an extra flag per day for every 2000 reputation points or 10 net helpful flags (helpful-unhelpful). Since you have an insane number of help...

 
@gnat LOL! I'm doing my best on the rep! Two days time will tell with the election :)

Chinese characters are now blocked in posts on The Workplace, both titles and bodies of posts. It's over.

A: Recent Changes to The Workplace

gnat August 2015 2015-08-03: Chinese characters are now blocked in posts on The Workplace, both titles and bodies of posts. This was done to prevent spammers attacks.

 
I hope I'm not breaking some unwritten rule by asking this, but I didn't find any info about this on Meta. So here goes: Why was this user suspended ? workplace.stackexchange.com/users/16993/vietnhi-phuvan . I ask because it seems a bit excessive to have a 1 year suspension

@Air Most comments were of a not so kind nature. Assuming OP was a troll, being not very nice in general. I hate when that happens.

@RaduMurzea You are not breaking a rule by asking, but the mod team has no obligation to answer you with specifics. :)

It's curious to see a user who apparently changed their display name and profile in preparation for account deletion to still be answering questions here
