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.

Done!
Hey David!
It's cool if you don't always reply. Just making sure.
The message lauren posted does look fairly innocent, agreed. But the url sounds fishy to me and indeed it seems to be about some slimy "seo" shit. But it's totally your call. I thought you'd accidentally missed him/her.
Here's another sucker:

Hi!
I am :) Sorry for stopping changing the status when deleting the spammers, it's totally my fault, I started doing so when de-spamming from mobile... but there's really not a excuse.
If you ask because you've already flagged "lauren" three times and I've not deleted him, well, it's just that his message is almost borderline, and I tend to be on the cautious side --and he hasn't posted anything else since that one--
Please be sure that we appreciate immensely the work you --and the other spam-hunters-- do to keep the website clean, maybe soon we'll have some more powerful anti-spam tools, but by now, only human interaction can achieve the balance between hassling legitimate users and preventing spam floods.
Thanks again for the good work!
Is somebody reading this thread by the way?
