Is everyone posting to this Room/Group aware that this is not an official friendfeed tool for reporting spam? Brett and Paul (and others on the FF team) do monitor the entries here and clean house when they can, but the official TOS abuse form is the best way to report these spammers. http://friendfeed.com/about...
Back in the day, this was the place to do it. Bret and the gang were on this room and it was rarely more than 15-20 minutes before they'd take care of the reported account. Now, I just don't even bother. - Akiva Moskovitz
I usually report here first since it's easy and then report with the TOS abuse form http://friendfeed.com/about... if it seems that nobody's currently paying attention here. - Chris Heath
true, but it was never official - and they still do clean up from here, and within seconds some times... you just have to catch them when they're doing it - they're not on friendfeed 100% of the time anymore, that's all - Chris Heath
I post here, then send a link to my post through the contact form. That way I can screenshot the offense. - Jason Huebel
Great idea jason - Chris Heath

Again… Fwd: this week i made my best....819$.. using the site http://surveycheese.com (via http://friendfeed.com/foods...)
and again here: http://friendfeed.com/lavorat... (this is getting boring) - alieb
spammed again. what are we group admin supposed to do? keep on "unsubscribing" those spammers over and over and over again? locking the group? because that's all I can do, there is no ban or anything else and they keep subscribing back. - alieb
Allowing admins to block spammers from groups would be a nice addition. It's gotten to where there are so many surveycheese spammers that it would be even better to automatically remove anyone that posts that URL. - Greg Guitarbuster

Same spammer, new account: http://friendfeed.com/carolin... - see http://friendfeed.com/search... (this is the "i'm able to earn 700 to 1000$ every month by just spending 2 hrs a day." spam.) - Andrew C
I guess it would be easier to just note nearly every single surveycheese post, except for the few legit ones reporting it: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Andrew C
another survey cheeser: http://friendfeed.com/janewil... - Andrew C

I doubt anyone's taking care of spam here, but there's a spammer loose at http://friendfeed.com/erotica2...
they are still taking care of spam, maybe a bit less hardcore than before, but it's still being done [looks like i was wrong they are just as hardcore as ever with a 7-minute turnaround time - amazing!] - Chris Heath
i actually came to report that same user spamming http://friendfeed.com/funny-p... that thread - Chris Heath
also spamming here: http://friendfeed.com/arts-an... he/she is on a tear! - Chris Heath
Removed, thanks - Bret Taylor
You're the man, Bret! - Christopher Harley
see tyson... they are just as hard core about the spam as in the past - so your doubts were unfounded - Chris Heath
tyson... also see here: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... apparently this is not an official spam reporting mechanism (while it is effective) the proper form page can be found here if you're interested http://friendfeed.com/about... - Chris Heath
Now *you're* the man, Chris. - Christopher Harley
... I don't get it ... - Chris Heath
... or do i? ... - Chris Heath

I contacted FriendFeed about the status of this room and what they want us to do in terms of reporting spam. Ana replied and said "You should use this form. The spam group was not started by us, and we do not link to it from anywhere on our site. Thanks, Ana". I guess that's the final word, then.
The form to use now: http://friendfeed.com/about... - Rochelle
Sure but they use the group for spam reports as you can see. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
this group is a better way to report spammers. we can see the result ("gone, thanks" comments) thanks to the moderators - Hakan İyice
Kol, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some level of disagreement between them. :) Bret seems to respond well here but Ana and Dan both said to use the form. *shrug* - Rochelle
bump for clarity... i never knew this ... - Chris Heath
We still monitor it, but we have been working with Facebook support/operations to answer our official contact forms at http://friendfeed.com/about.... Facebook has a fantastic operations team responding to that form now, so it is reliable. Ex-FF employees still monitor this room actively though, so feel free to use it - we like to kill spam as quickly as possible :) - Bret Taylor
you rock bret... thanks for the explanation - glad to hear that facebook is helping out with this stuff - Chris Heath
