Just a quick reminder to users: if you see spam, simply commenting "spam" or downvoting it doesn't alert the mods. It's best to hit the report button and/or comment directly mentioning the mods of the community or the admins of the instance where the post originates from.

If you report the offending post to the admins of another instance (Lemmy.ml sees this a lot since we one of the biggest instances), they can only remove and ban on their own instance, whereas the home instance admins can ban the user from posting at all, and if they remove it, it should propagate through to the federated instances.

Define spam, advertising, scams, etc.

Practical everything is an ad, info or notice what you post because you want to make people aware of things. There are some ads here but they quickly getting reported, reported myself lots of things already, it is normal.

Maybe link the examples or report them otherwise this is hard to understand what exactly you mean.

Down-vote after 3 seconds, wow...

I take care of 2 giant sublemmys and remove spam within 12-24 hours. I hope we could get more good moderators on board to be able to put in required community work.
