Default Is Dealighted being over-run by spammers?

I have noticed in the last week or so a huge increase in spammers. I go to the forum section under "hot deals" and all I see is random posts that don't seem to always make sense, posts for the same thing over and over again...

Also today I saw a bunch where the title was "2" "j" "v" and crap like that!

What is going on?

"Amazon best offer + free shipping" over and over again...

Something needs to be done. The Admin needs to appoint some senior members who are online often as mods so they will rid the site of spam.

We are working on a fix, the influx is related to the sites growing popularity, google rank and the holidays. If while you guys are posting you would report the bad posts we could remove them more quickly. As it is however we only have one or two members reporting posts so while we might be online we aren't always spotting the posts that quickly.

Yah, I have reported 2 or 3 of the spam posts, but now I know I will report more as I see them. Thanks!

You don't have to report every single post a spammer makes just one will do. Its just the matter of being able to see the notice so we know they are there when we aren't on the site.
