Okay, this suggests that if you ever run out of spam flags, but the inundation continues, that you should email moderators@mathoverflow.net to let us know. (And perhaps remind us that we can clear spam flags; I hadn't known this until today.)

Spam, I learned, is very popular in Hawaii.

I have my full quiver of 5 spam flags back. Thanks, Scott. :)

I just deleted a whole lot of "Halmos" things. I also cleared all the "spam flags"; perhaps this even resets people's quota, I'm not quite sure how this works.

Okay, I'm walking home from work now but will try to have a look soon.

@Qiaochu I've ran out of spam flags today (apparently one is restricted to five flags a day). I've never seen it this bad. There are 39 items flagged as spam under the tools link.

If the moderators could spare some time for a clean-out it would be appreciated.

Enough spam flags or enough downvotes (I don't recall the exact number for either) will automatically delete a post, so stay vigilant!

I tried flagging the last two. We'll see what the moderators think when they look in.

I don't know. I imagine if the posts were overwhelming and clouding-out all the other posts on the front page, flagging for moderator attention or even e-mailing one of the moderators might be appropriate. This flare-up ?seems? to be contained.

Should users flag such posts "requires moderator attention" or "spam" to encourage a moderator to delete them right away? I am not in the habit of doing this, but maybe it is a good idea to keep the front page "cleaner". Moderators are, understandably, slow to delete on their own, so silly posts tend to hang around too long.

We seem to have a chain reaction of 7 or 8 consecutive posts on the same topic getting closed and/or flagged as spam.
