For users with administrative permissions, a moderation UI for spam tasks could be useful.

For other normal users a “mark as spam”-button (similiar to voting for a task) could help moderators to identify spam tasks.

1. Modify the spam task: Move to a hidden “Trash” project, replace summary and description with a default spam summary text end empty description.
2. The decision which kind of punishment of the account who created the spam depends on several things:
   • Is it a previously normal used account who got captured by a bad guy and suddenly started spamming?
   • Is it a fresh bot created account who tried creating many spam task to promote bad websites or do search ranking manipulation?
   • Is it a sneaky smart account who waits for the opportunity to offload spam in a subtile manner?

I think this is not so easy to automate without producing false positives, especially for a project without commercial interest and funding and no huge meta informations like Google or similiar data collecting corporation who have the ability to identify spam waves across the internet.
