maybe we could have a crowd-sourced approach and introduce a "spam"-flag

manually hide/delete the post. This should work similar to our
stackexchange-like helpsystem (you can flag or unflag with the same button).

Because nobody has ever thought of that before, or maybe discussed how it might work, or... Oh, but they have:

You might also notice that there hasn't actually been any such spam for nearly a fortnight now. Maybe the administrators noticed there was a problem and made a change to combat it?
