Ok, this idea may sound really stupid but I'm hoping if we can get the active community members clicking on individual links (yes, its similar to clicking ads on certain places in order to support the place of one's interest) that are related to spam. We can possibly tell moderators to look at these reported threads first.

For some reason I'm thinking their report system is setup in a way of having the amount of clicks for each reported post. The higher the number of clicks on a specifically reported post the higher it will show on the moderator's list for reported post.

I am also hoping for moderators to also delete the spam threads along with banning the user by their IP address to prevent spams from new username but same IP address instead.

Obviously in the long haul I/We would like to see a security boost on the talk.maemo.org in a manner similar to what JohnLF wrote.

In the meantime I hope people would continuously click on spam threads whenever possible. No you will not get a reward apart from helping out the community.

Below is a list of corresponding thread topics, spammer's username and the link to report:
