WTF, so much spam!  
There's been an invasion of a Russian-English spampost on my friends page. Ten of them, pretty much the same post by several accounts all posted to different communities. I'd rather click a report-spam button than sending deletion requests to 10 community owners. The less I'm forced to communicate with strangers, the better. And who knows how many messages the owners already have received about this topic. I think having a button to report spam would really make it easier for both sides, so I sent LJ a support request about it. Let's see how it goes. Hopefully others will ask about such a button too, that should improve our chances of getting that button.

The button exists already. Go to the journal of the spammer, to his profile. When moving the mouse over the little man symbol in front of the name, a list of options turns up. Click on "report a bot" and then it sends a message to LJ that this user is not legit. After that it asks you if you want to block them.

I deleted like 5 of those from comms I mod today, ugh. It happens every once in a while, for some reason, but this looks like orchestrated spam or something.

YOU'RE BACK! :oD

Yeah, but I wonder what the point is รด_o. I mean, there wasn't even a link in the posts.
