Filter to remove spammers in forums

[Karan Singh]

Is there a filter or reporting system to remove spammers in forums?

I'm noticing real estate agents and some others are spamming every post and it's really ruining the the quality of the discussion. 

Every question or discussion ends up being 30 agents spamming with "my market is best". Out of 20-30 replies in a post, 15-20 will be spam. They are so blatant that they copy paste almost the same message. 

I've tried reporting these with the current way and it's not having any impact.

I mean no offense to the Columbus RE guys however they do chime in on any post basically that mentions that city . For the regulars on this site its kind of a running joke.

I wonder if that is what the OP is referring to.

On the flip side that is what alerts are for.. so if someone mentions are your you can jump in.

I guess fine line from spam to wanting to constribute. ??
