I'm talking about recent posts that have nothing to do with startups, or asking for biz advice. They're just spam.
Are there forum moderators that can delete these posts?
Some examples:

We're deleting spam posts more effectively now, and spammers are responding by creating more accounts. Will need to take some measure to (a) prevent spammer signup in the first place, (b) make it harder for spammers to make that first post, and (c) automatically delete posts likely to be spam before anyone sees it rather than waiting for Rosie or I to catch it ourselves or see the reports.

I’m new here but I think there needs to be some set of rules for new people - JMHO
Personally, it would be cool if everyone can post an introduction before they post anything.
We appreciate the feedback. There's a back log of things/spam we need to tidy up and as part of that we will be reviewing how best to tackle it.
Yes, moderating/removing now. Much more than usual.
Seems like there is something fishy there
