I'm completely new here, but it's not my first time around the block with creative content sites like this. Sadly, it's everywhere you go! I haven't been around long enough to know who the spammers are but I will always flag them when I see them...but I won't waste precious hours on a campaign against them. I'd rather be writing! Anyway, I wanted to post and say hi. Your frustration is crystal clear. Don't give up. Every site needs advocates and warriors.
