Okay so the most proactive thing to do is to obviously tag spam yourself. I also do this, but I still think you're skirting over my point. There's maybe 10 people who do this, and I'm certainly the lesser in frequency or regularity.

It still warrants a group of active spam filterers doing the job for everyone, assuming "everyone" filters #spam. And, still, every post we filter is immediately replaced with another at every refresh. So I don't think that solves anything, still especially to a newcomer, but I'm sorry youre bothered by my whining.

I'm not skirting your point, I'm denying its accuracy. "Shares" are crowd-sourced ranking, and that's what makes the site work. crowd-sourced spam filtering is in exactly the same spirit, with exactly the same granularity and control.

You're also wrong. As mentioned, I filter spam and block accounts newer than 2 days and I see none of the spam you do. My solution works.
