@Daniel, how does this spamalot thing of yours work? The description only says "Move SPAM here, to the magical land of Spamalot." Maybe you can explain it a little bit more verbosely. Are people other than yourself able to tag spam somehow or what do you mean by "move"? Thank you for the clarification.

@Rolf: You don't need any special permissions to change the 'project' on a bug or question from Ubuntu/whatever to SPAMalot and at least that hides it and prevents other people from seeing it. Of course, it doesn't work for situations like the one you reported where bots add garbage to an existing/legitimate bug/question.
