Comment 42 for bug 45419

The current protocol is to report it on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad so that we can clean it up and improve our automatic detection techniques. We do sometimes miss these reports depending on the nature of the spam, but we deal with most of them and as a result are able to automatically eliminate the vast majority of spam on Launchpad.

I appreciate that people are annoyed by the somewhat cumbersome nature of this, but adding successive sarcastic remarks about the age of the bug adds nothing substantive to the discussion and just consumes developer time reading them. Please don't.
