The Question and Answer Board

[Biowatch]

>>From my perspective, it's a matter of practicality. A moderator can control repetitive spam on a single board if it it excessively disruptive to the dialog on that board and can escalate to Matt if necessary. One of the most common complaints about spammers is that they often hit the most popular boards, and users who BoardMark those same boards are alerted to new posts, only to find they are all the same post spammed to multiple boards. The multiple-board spammers are more easily dealt with by admins, while disruptive posters in individual boards are more practically dealt with by the moderators.<<

Excellent answer. Sometimes spam is glaringly obvious when it is about a stock that has NOTHING to do with the subject of a particular board. Sometimes when it's a penny stock that is only slightly related to the topic at hand it is suspicious. But usually I view something as spam when the same person has posted essentially the same message on 5 or 10 or 20 different boards within a day or two.
