Spammers on the loose in Quick answers.

I'm also confused as to why I am able to Delete some of these answers, but only Edit others, even within the same QA.
It's time for a new signature.
Hi Richard. Please see How does editing content work[^] and How does deleting work[^]. We've simplified the rules considerably around editing and deleting questions and answers.

Hi Thiru, yes I was aware of the rules. My query was that when I looked at these QA messages I was able to delete some of the spam entries, but for others (all in the same QA) I was only able to edit the content, even though I was (apparently) the first editor.

I've removed around 300 this morning.

Morning has just broken here in Toronto and I'm on it. Looks like the spammers enjoy working while we're asleep.

Hmm.. that shouldn't be happening. I've haven't been able to reproduce this. Can you let me know if you come across it again?
