Actually, you can remove multiple posts at once, so its not a big deal when we are dealing with a typical spammer.

However, it is more complex to deal with a shill, or a group of shills that act, post and communicate just like any forum member would. I think that our proactive moderating approach and staff experience really helps weed those members out and stop them before they can do any damage to our community. However, there are groups of shills that have some forums completely under control, and I know it is making your experience really unpleasant, because when you are contributing value, you know they contribute nothing but advertising. The most amazing thing is that those groups of shills still promoting most of all the same web hosting companies! What a shame!!
