Major spam needs removal
Spam at http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/12157...
Was apparently removed 30 minutes ago but is back--user should be blocked.
Now listed twice--two minutes apart.
Is this a good question?

I've banned several 'users' who were all the same person. They are operating from a number of different IP addresses, making it slightly more time consuming to track down. Email us or post here any users doing high-volume spam that is time consuming to use the moderation system for, and we'll ban their IPs.
Thanks Boss, we'll do:-)

Banned. And I know there's more coming in, we're blocking users as fast as they show up.
Looks like we got somebody mad at us:-) Bring it on

We pushed out some much more aggressive spam blocking functionality tonight that is in effect across the whole site, and we'll be amending it as necessary.
In the mean time, as Kyle said, keep letting us know about any more spam accounts you see, and we'll take care of them, ASAP.

Taylor, looks like they got wise to that ....http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/12269...
Have you found any more spam questions since that one? I wouldn't expect that our spam blocking would be absolutely 100% effective, but it was meant to cut down on 95%+ of the volume of spam coming in. We're open to improving that functionality if more spam is coming in, but I haven't seen anything from these particular spammers since that post you linked 3 days ago.
Hi Taylor, I think you guys did a great job. No spam postings on that subject since the last one. I, and I am sure a lot of my colleagues as well, appreciate how quickly and efficient you guys deal with this. ifixit is undoubtedly the least spam polluted "forum" that exist. Again, thanks to you and everyone at ifixit.
