Spam should be deleted because adds nothing new to discussion, is annoying, hard to read and time consuming if there is more spam in the thread (for moderators to clean up and readers to report and go thru if they are interested in topic).

100 % agree with you.
We're in the forum, not in a chatroom to talk about garbage.
Like me, sometimes Ilike to know more about some project and read thread from begin to end, to catch up and not ask stupid questions. We are still young and small forum but on BTT I found threads with 13 pages and literally 11 of them was pure spam with 2 words answers or even one "ok". Few times after I finished reporting from 13 - 20 pages left 2 - 5 when moderator finished cleaning. To report such a garbage thread took me about 2 hours. Next we have to add the moderator time spending on deleting.
It is too hard to fight spam with "spam reports". If better use self moderated thread, but I can't found that tools in here. Maybe admin can take considerations to activated self moderation tools.
If we will not fight with spam from start one day we will be very sorry. The first and most important rule on each forum is "don't spam". If I would tell, how much is my reported post count on BTT nobody would believe and my accuracy is 100%. I really know how spam looks like and how bad and damaging could be for our forum.
Its better using "NO SPAM".
Agree with you, we must start now to fight spamming actions before too late.
1. To make more dev team come here, they will look our forum have quality members to support their project.
2. To make our member more respect why admin founding this forum and make them do smart actions.
