Spam Suggestion

This is somewhat stupid, but I think that it will make spammers want to not spam (as much).

put a picture of actual spam or something on posts you (if you're an admin) consider spam, or create a function (such as a button) that says "note as spam". When an admin clicks on it, an unremovable (unremovable too the spammer) sign saying…ummm…I don't know, maybe "THIS IS SPAM" or put a picture of a can of spam on that post. What do you think? Oh yeah, if you have nothing but hater and flaming posts to post, then LEAVE.

We'll just use WOM, the pictures seem just well… dumb.

You don't need a picture to say it's spam.  We just usually PM or post about it being sapm or edit the post to remove the spam and raise WOM.

Spam pictures in a non-spamming topic, like R/B/Y HoF, would seem, weird.

I guess al of you are right. We don't have a major spam problam here (though the main site needs a WHOLE LOTTA WORK done on it, comment wise) and it would be silly (in a bad way) to put a picture on spam comments, BANHAMMERS are better!
