Description

I suggest implementing a "mark as spam" button near each post on the forum. After a post has gathered x spam marks, someone on the team should get an email, suggesting the deletion of said post. The post itself might also be added to the email, in order to simplify the decision.

Perhaps, the project could've grown in popularity since Trisquel 7, maybe to the point of attracting even more spammer activity.

As always, bad things comes with a good things too, and in this case, good things comes with bad things too. Which is okay if we take the bad things as challenges.

To sum up, we need a better way to fight against spam.
