I've created this recipe in IFTTT so I get a notification in my
phone for each new post, this has been useful with the last banned
user because all notifications came in once.<br>

<div>Right now there is 4 different accounts pouring spam at a
rate higher than what I can delete... how about restricting to
1 question per day to users with karma < 10 ?</div>

<div>One more suggestion: Right now to delete a question you
have to click on it, see the full text and then hit the
"delete" button on the bottom on the page (which for long spam
messages might take some scrolling). The total process takes
about 5 seconds for spam message, but since a human moderator
can identify an obvious spam message only by the title... how
about adding a "flag" and "delete" button (only for moderators
and people with high enough karma) directly besides the title
of each question on the main question list? This might save us
a lot of time.</div>
