The New queue is getting hammered. Currently, about 30-40% of submissions from the last 2 hours are spam. That's just what hasn't been deleted yet.<p>Please spend a few minutes each time you check HN to prune the New stack and flag any spam.
This may seem like a stupid question, but how do I even do that?<p>I'm a long time reader, but only recently started posting, so the finer details like flagging and downvoting are beyond me right now :)
