C'mon guys - I need help here.  We need to flag each of these useless posts (the ones by the spammer not the rest) three times for them to go away!
 
SO GET FLAGGING!

Ok, I've flagged all 57 of his crap posts and it looks like someone else has hit most of them as well so all we need is...
 
ONE MORE PERSON TO FLAG THIS ASSHAT'S POSTS!
 
(Please?)

I'll flag if you promise to give me free antibiotics with each escort purchase...

YES!!!!   We're down to only one left in the Coffee House!
 
Thanks to whomever helped! 
 
(Note that his others are in Hardware and Computers.)

Now there's only one left in Hardware.  This three strikes thing really does work great!

Oh yes! It's somewhat annoying to start the forum session with 30 minutes of spam flagging!
Would it be exaggerating to add the flag-button already on the front page, where the post titles are listed?
Or make it possible to ctrl-select posts and flag several in one go?

All nice suggestions, but I'm just happy that with just three of us we can remove the crud and not have to wait for the mods to nuke the spammer.

Sorry. Can't do it. Too risky. Might end up flagging my own posts in the process.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Or is that the goal?!

Yeah, we don't have to wait for the mods, but it's quite time consuming and annoying.
What about a keyboard shortcut? Whatever something that would make flagging faster!

I've just done a load, but I think they need to alter the settings so that 1 person flagging as spam will do whatever 3 does, because most of you over the pond there don't get up until lunchtime, so us poor souls over here have to wade through it all morning . ;)
 
Leaves it a little open to people abusing the system maybe, but any member who maliciously marks posts as spam that clearly are not spam just gets banned. Simples.
