Dealing with Coderwall Spam
I love this site, but lately I've been seeing more and more spam... Advertisements for SEO, healthcare and medical junk, just basic garbage.
Of course we could just wait a bit and they will fail to be upvoted, and it seems someone inside Coderwall might be removing them manually..
Anyone have any ideas on how we can help keep Coderwall clean?

Hey - we're working on this - details coming soon!
I think we just need a button to flag posts, like on StackOverflow and many other systems.
But whatever solutions the maintainers come up with, I'd be happy to help :)
Cool, there's a flag now!
Awesome!
I'm currently researching to see if there is an answer to my question but is there a way to flag comments as spam yet? I'm getting a ton of spam comments on my otherwise legitimate posts. For example: https://coderwall.com/p/xdljzq/difference-between-php-sessions-and-cookies - the last handful of comments are just garbage and I can't remove them.

I'm facing a lot of spam comments as well on my posts. Maybe we could integrate with akismet for comment spam?
How ironic that this very post has a spam comment.
