There has been a fairly regular stream of spam on ask.sagemath.org - five this morning was a bit much, though. So here is what I recommend for action.
1) The first person to see a spam question (i.e. completely unrelated to math or Sage) who has the proper privilege can edit the tag to spam, edit the topic to "Spam" or "old spam message" (sometimes just spam doesn't work due to character limits), and remove the content of the message and/or answers. Remove as much of the spammy text as you can, based on your privileges. 2) Please do NOT close the question. Closed questions cannot be deleted (I view this as a bug in askbot, which I believe I reported to them a long time ago). 3) DELETE the question if possible. I think that currently I am the only user with this privilege, but maybe Doug, Mike, and/or Niles might have it too. If someone feels like a different workflow on this is better, I'm open to that. I just find it easiest to completely delete the question (as opposed to off-topic questions about math), and in the interim remove anything that is of use to the spammer.
