If you really want to you can try IRC, but at present I think I'm the main one who's clearing spam (which we have been steadily getting more of again), and I kill it as soon as I see it which will generally be just as soon as you could alert me.

...this is a popular site - so a bigger target for spam
As far as I know, anyone in the mod/admin section here:

can remove it. Though I think only admins can delete accounts, which is where Chris comes in.
