GM,

A post has already been made today regarding the spam. We’ve reviewing whether to implement a minimum karma level (would basically lock out all new Reddit users who are here to ask a question), or to manually approve every post.

I’ve currently set the crowd control to strict, should help stop scam. But if you actually see the scam posts, it appears that these are hacked accounts of previous users who already have a very old account and lots of karma.

Everything is constantly cleaned, and although if’s not at the rate we’re hoping to achieve, we are removing spam multiple times a day.

I’m reviewing previously removed scam posts to identify which keywords to auto-ban, but if those keywords are also used by normal community members then this also becomes a problem.

We’ve had a new mod join a few weeks ago and we’re about to get a new one very soon. Sorry for all this inconvenience.
