    A check? I'm talking about two moderators on two different sites coming to the same conclusion and then just mirroring that over the other sites. All the lookup stuff is already done (see network profile) and the actions could be carried out by the Community user on the other sites. Commented Jul 20, 2013 at 9:24

    I wonder, though, how many of these spammers have gone to the trouble of linking their accounts. If they have any brains at all (aside from the few brain cells that make them think spamming will make them successful), they'll know enough not to do that. Commented Jul 21, 2013 at 15:20
  • @AaronBertrand - given that SE automatically links accounts if you use the same credentials on different sites it's hard not to link your accounts. Commented Jul 22, 2013 at 8:26
  • Indeed, most spammers I've seen have had linked accounts with live spam posts on those sites. This is what this suggestion would fix. Commented Jul 22, 2013 at 9:45
