Notified Mitchell and he'll probably add it to his bot.
Thanks!

We have an anti-spam bot? Does it handle all spams or just certain ones? The bot posts on the speculation section sometimes doesn't get deleted for hours.
It's a pretty dumb bot that just looks for the same spam posts, e.g. the knc spam post. So long as the text remains the same, it will remove such posts.

Well if it changes the text there's not much that can be done about it.

Recently I have been seeing a newly created account creating a post with just the words
Quote
Quantum code review
and that being a link to somewhere (some linkedin page IIRC). The title of the post is usually nonsense.

Can we get the anti-spam bot on this? It's getting annoying to report those every single time.

For example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1588435.0;topicseen#msg15951451
