Congrats on beating the other big sites on yet another metric.
Unfortunately, the content that “lean and mean” CL is speedily delivering is now mostly spam.
The users (this one, and many others in FeFo) ask you for help in reducing spam.
Manual flagging cannot possibly counter the avalanche of automated spambot posts.
The least CL can do is open a discussion on reducing spam.
This might provide some fresh ideas and lead to a consensus on what measures to take.
Thanks for listening.

Nice! Recently, my girlfriend and I moved into a new house and have been engaging in lots of little transactions here in Austin with our fellow townsfolk using CL and it’s worked out really well.
