Haha, I think spam fighting takes the cake here.

Props to @carolineschettler, @itscasey, and all the awesome trusted users who put in the work daily to help us scrape the spam off of DEV. Not to mention @ben and our engineers who have created automated spam fighting features for us as well. 🙌

Bonus props to community members who report spam as they see it! Thank you! ❤️
