A lot of the spam we've been seeing lately appears in the comments now since most spammers don't have enough CCP to make a post - they are typically selling an item or service, aka commerce or solicitation spam. We hate these! Just hit the "report" option under any comment in all subverses, select "spam", and I (or active mods) can review and delete; these reports are anonymous. This is the fast method as you peruse Voat and you can be on your way quickly.
Unfortunately, there's still some spam that's hitting submission posts and these can be handled too; again...hit the "report" option under any post, select "spam", and an anonymous report will be generated (for review/deletion or a guidelines/warning message) and you'll be back to surfing Voat in no time!
Since you're here and reading this at v/ReportSpammers, see below how best to make a spam report with some new clicky shortcuts and spam description types:
If you notice that a user has 5+ in-comments commerce spam, report them with a post, just enter the username in the two spots >>
In-Comments User Commerce Spam Report
If a user is spamming their video channel in the comments 5+ times, report them with a post, just enter the username in the two spots>>
In-Comments User Self-Promo/Video Spam Report
Submission Posts Domain Commerce or Self-Promo Spam
Occasionally, a user will have amassed enough CCP to spam their domain, whether it's with the intent to share their site for ordering wicked-awesome-stupendous goods/services (gets a ban/deletion) or their wicked-awesome-stupendous blog site (usually gets a warning that only 5 of their 10 posts may be linked to their site, see our FAQ submission guidelines).
If you notice a user has 5+ posts to the same domain in an effort to sell goods or services (this is commerce spam), report their domain with a post here, entering the full domain name in the two spots>>
Submission Post Domain Commerce Spam Report
If a user has 5+ posts to the same domain in an effort to hawk their website (not commerce related), report their full domain in the two spots for review and a potential site guidelines message>>
Submission Post Domain Self-Promo Report
Submission Posts Video Channel Self-Promo Spamming
If a user has 5+ posts to the same video channel (not commerce related) and they appear to be an otherwise decent goat, make a report with a post here for review and a potential site guidelines message, just enter the username in the two spots>>
Submission Post Video Channel Self-Promo Report
Please keep in mind that because all reports are individually reviewed they may not be handled in the manner originally requested.
