I monitor the jobs board also and the spams are indeed annoying.

They seemed to get flagged with a troll badge but I'm not sure how long it takes before the messages get purged. They seem to stick around for a bit.

I'm not sure if the cure would be worse than the disease but it would be neat if normal users could mark a post as spam. Maybe 5 marks hides a post until a moderator can verify it is spam or not. Obviously this mechanic could be abused and there is a coding cost to creating such a mechanism too.
