Wham Bam nothankyou Spam

[Chris P]

In the Report Spam thread I wrote this. I'm reposting here cos I doubt many of us read that thread:

With the spam (often) outnumbering the genuine, I'm asking: can we not have a discussion about other methods to get around this ongoing hassle.

Are we happy with the current 'flag it up & let Zee zap it', or does it make the forum unattractive & hard to negotiate? - and I'm thinking of genuine newcomers or occasional visitors

Mention has been made of some others being granted the power to zap, but I don't know if that's progressed.
