Mar 25, 2015 at 23:14 comment added Dewi Morgan My response in such a case (where spam becomes on-topic content) is usually "what an enviable problem to have!" If spammers post questions that matter to real people, that's OK! Other than closing as dups if they repeat themselves, and deleting spam replies, no action need be taken on the seeds themselves. Most products are designed to fill a need; all needs have legitimate questions to describe them. Legitimate questions are good content.
