1077 spambots. Release the ban-hammer!

I was deleting whole pages of posts when I got to page 5 and thought 'how many pages are there?'

If you see more, don't delete the pages, go after the user accounts. Go to one of their posts, hit the spam button on the bottom. This will bring the Spam Blocker feature up. Click the big blue button "CLEAN" and then it will check for other users with the same IP and list them with a "SPAM" button to their right. Click each one of those spam buttons and it will kill the posts AND account.

I was able to move through about 40-50 users in 5 minutes or so yesterday morning before I had to go to work with the feature.
 
Thanks for keeping this going. I come here for the community. The old fashioned forum style makes things feel more real than a subreddit, but just the right amount of anonymity that a facebook group would not provide.

So I was trying several things to include doing that, after stumbling through it for the first time yesterday, but after doing it for about a dozen posts I started trying to just delete pages of the spam posts before discovering it was more than just a couple of dozen posts and users. Then came the 'fuck it' moment and I noped out of here to let the experts do their thing.

Logging in yesterday morning felt a little bit like this meme:
