I don't remember what posts I warned the Italian community in. It could have been just that one time. Doesn't matter. I'm not your school teacher or policeman. ;)
Also, I didn't mention the Italian board to single you out. Sorry if it came across that way. The Spanish board is the only other one I can understand and it is relatively quiet from what I've seen. From the spam reports we've been getting, it looks like many of the other language boards have their own share of crap.
Ideally, we would find a way for foreign language boards to elect their own mods and police themselves. @cryptonaut @adam, and everyone else: thinking caps on!
The problem is that it is hard to make sure that it all works well and runs fairly when you don't understand the language, and frankly we'd rather spend our time building cool stuff than on police patrol. This issue will partly sort itself out as the foreign communities grow and certain members earn trust with the rest of the LTB community. It's up to you guys to prove yourselves.
There is a "Flag/Report" button on every post. When the community is big enough, I see how that could work as a downvote in reddit, and posts with negative votes would be considered as spam. However, right now, proper spam might not get enough downvotes while it would be easy for spammers to game the system and blacklist legitimate posts. Again, small-community problems.
