+1 to the idea of adding a specific flag for spam.

Only one way to be sure.
I blame Cosmo for starting a flamewar.

I used to flag one and then go to the alias and flag their other thread.
Now I just start at the bottom of the list on the page and flag all the ones on up - each time I do, the thread title pales compared to other threads I have not visi....uhrmm, flagged yet. At least on my browser.
It has upped my efficiency factoroids by quadrations of nearing the fifty-eighth multiplectron capacity factor. Or thereabouts.
Given I am sending this down to a past that may not even exist anymore, I'm not sure if we won the SpamWar2015 or if I am a rogue-naught AI masquerading as a fourth entity second grade third generation Spamhammer.
I think.
Remember, FLAG and move on...
In FLAG they DUST
They're popping up in the PFS forum...
Brace yourselves.
Spam Is Coming.
The first few are creeping into Paizo General Discussion.

General Discussion is under threat.
Are you watching the sidebar, too?

Flagged one 20 seconds after it showed up.
Still in General Discussion...
Tide coming in in General Discussion.
Sighted spam, flagged same.
Sigh...here we go again.
Well, I'll do my part tonight, but may not be able to tomorrow due to a family trip to an amusement park...if the weather holds.
Now it's spreading to Pathfinder RPG General Discussion.

They're moving into Pathfinder Society as well.

Generally they're in Paizo General Discussion. Ocassionally they go to Pathfinder RPG General Discussion, or Pathfinder Society General Discussion. Really anything that says General Discussion is a target for them. :(

I'd like to discuss that more, generally speaking.

Oh, now we've got a DIFFERENT bit of spam on the boards. Hey, at least there's some variety involved now.
Some of them may or may not have included a nuclear hazard symbol.
They are tenacious tonight, aren't they?
Tell me about it...
I hope Paizo comes up with a way of keeping them out soon.
Where are the clerics at? Flamestrike! FLAMESTRIKE!
Great, now they're replying to their own threads with more spam >:-(
Oh god.
They're beginning to develop primitive conversations.

I wish google and their pals could find a way to not count posts like this when searching the internet. It seems to me that removing the incentive would be the strongest deterrent.

If too many of them network together.....they're becoming Geth

Did anyone else hear the satisfying WHUMP of a couple Flamestrikes?

EDIT: And another at 5 seconds. Timed the interval between the 1st and 2nd posting in a username at about 1 minute 20 seconds.

Still in General Discussion... I just got one at 9 seconds. I feel mighty. My best so far is a back (button) swing that caught one at 5 seconds. Probably won't get that lucky again
Okay sorry I am late guys but just came back from Ant-Man....I am with you now...
And I saw a bunch and than they started to disappear...I am guessing a mod is out there pulling a all nighter?
okay, everything I see is flagged. I have to tag out for a little while. I'll be back later.
Yup, been hitting them for the last few minutes...
Anyone have any idea where all that spam is coming from?
It's not me...though I do post a little...

Just caught up on flagging the last four hours worth of spam.
Good job I never minded doing grind in games.
Question, where is this magnificent 'HIDE' button I keep hearing about?
I keep flagging, but I can't find the button to hide the thread after I Flag it.
<Magic missile FLAGS another one>
Dang things are like c0ckroaches. WHen you find one you know there are 100 others hiding behind it, waiting for you to turn the lights out.

look on the far right. there's a little circle with a diagonal line through it. since I started hiding them it's helped a lot to tell which I've flagged.

By the way: Should I bother flagging multiple spam messages in the same thread, or is flagging the first one enough to get the whole thread nuked?

If there is an extra post it will continue to be seen, we usually notice this, but not always so it helps to have a flag there.
