Please never ever respond to spam for the following reasons:
1/ it bumps the spam thread to the top where it is seen by more people
2/ 90% of the time it's a robot, not a human being. They cannot read your reply
3/ you may be accidentally banned along with the bot
4/ abusive messages? I've never heard of this before, but its a pretty good reason not to respond.

So the best thing you all can do is to please report the spam, and not respond. We will delete it as soon as we read the report. I'm sorry if this sometimes takes longer than 15 minutes, we act as soon as possible.

"longer than 15 minutes" is a vast understatement. I have seen spam stay up for 10 hours. As a moderator on another forum, that is completely unacceptable to me.

Case in point...I just reported spam that has now been up for 4 hours.

i reported that post within the first hour, and it now been up for 7 hours or more with several people reporting.............

I have any idea. Being a mod is a pain in the neck. A job I wouldn't want. Maybe they should have a position called "mod in charge of spam". I can imagine a few people who would be great at the post. Whadaya think? They can just be in charge of spam. No need to learn the other games, or deal with the rowdy clashers or referee our disagreements, just delete spam on all three games, at all times, including holidays and weekends and of course the middle of the night. Any volunteers? It's clear they need help.

Sorry about that guys, it should be gone now (apologies if I missed any of them).

I nominate MsPacheo. She mods on a different forum so she knows what she's doing and she won't tolerate spam.

Ms. Pacheco, I do believe you have been militarily volunteered.

Fair point about the spam. We've all been too busy IRL this weekend and obviously have let things slide in that department. My apologies.

A mod who does nothing but delete spam? Oh my, I wouldn't wish that job on anyone! For every spam post you see, there are ten moderated spam posts that are thankfully only visible to mods. Once I deleted 300 spam posts in one sitting, and it was mind numbing, but at least I had other mod duties to relieve the boredom.
Kudos to anyone who puts their hand up for that job!;)

Why doesn't supercell hire somebody to delete the spam every 30 mins. They have the cash flow.
