The spam works we're dealing with are primarily links to sites offering streaming video for sporting events or illegal downloads for movies or shows. You can read more about our definition of spam in the "Spam and commercial promotion" section of our Terms of Service.
I've seen many of those clogging up several of my fandoms. They take a half-page, or more of individual postings so readers have to try and wade through them to get to the actual stories. This stuff is not only hurting ones coming in to read the stories, or trying to get an invitation, but also those of us that post stories as well. They see all that crap on the first page, which knocks everyone's legitimate stories back, and they just leave.
I wish to extend my thanks to those volunteers that work hard to try and get those off when we send in reports about them.
Comment on Update: Invitation requests remain disabled for the time being
