Spam problems

Just got a dilemma: what should we do if we have a post from someone that from the profile you can tell is most likely a spammer, but wrote a topic that in itself could be considered valid?

If the post is innocuous but it obviously looks like a spammer profile, I'll usually still disapprove it, but yeah, I'd be interested to hear the "official" take on that too.

I think this spam thingy is a little extreme...

Jeez, no foolin'. I think I did 5 or 6, posted some 5 sentence post, and there were 6 more.

Had to disapprove a spam post in this very thread.

Spammers only win if we visit the site. LONG LIVE THE PAN CAKES LINK!

can we get a "Check All" Button for the moderator list? It's a pain having to check them all by hand every time just to say "no, bad little spam bot, try again in a few minutes!"

Also, could you default the "notify user" to OFF and the reason to "advertise a website or product" instead of "illegal download"?

Also, a simple checkbox for the reason "Spam" instead of having to type it in every time.

I agree with tannim, it would make the process lot faster.

There are small "Mark All" and "Unmark All" links just underneath the Disapprove and Approve buttons when you're viewing the list. Took me a sec to find them, too.
