"We have released phase 2 of our "troll defense" recently and you should start to see some positive changes. While we are confident in our troll and spammer-catching technologies we might miss a few, and would like to encourage you guys to continue reporting any abuse you see.
We have begun to crack down on "background" point-gamers--those who create multiple accounts to choose their own best answers, target others with thumbs-down votes, or target others by repeatedly reporting them for abuse.
We cannot go in to too much detail about our new nun-chuck powers, but you should see a marked decrease in spammers on the site. We would appreciate feedback on how you think our new system is going, and what changes, if any, you are noticing.
Thank you for working with us as we implement this phase and continue to work on phase 3. We know many of you are eager to help us catch these types of users.
