Default Bastard Spammers

I know there's only some much that can be done about all these idiot spammers creating 10 million accounts on here and creating worthless posts where you can't even see their spam pics, but is there anything that can be done about them? I keep reporting their posts but more and more of them keep popping up...just makes me want to reply and cuss them out in posts, but little good that's going to do...

Just venting

I just want them to find a way to track robo-call spam that sees through spoofing technology.

1) They usually post part of someone else's post.

2) There is usually a link/pic at the end of their posts.

When I click their username and click "Find more posts by...", all of their posts have the same link at the end.

Their location under the username is usually always lowercase... usa, new york, etc.

Keep reporting those suckers!

They usually use a white period at the end of their posts too.
