1. Graph based -- spammers often share similar patterns of activity which can be used to catch them 

2. Behaviors - they also tend to do things a certain way, because they're being repetitive in their actions (e.g. posting at fixed internals) 

3. Textual - the content of their casts is often very predictive of their quality

excellent thread from @v summarizing the spam problem, what they've learned, and the path ahead.

Nothing is being resolved; more questions are being raised than answers given. The developers and those leading the platform seem to be obsessed with bots, giving the impression that they aren't interested in growing the platform. Instead of focusing on improving the experience for real users, they prioritize measures that make users invisible if they don't interact enough. This creates frustration and a sense of disconnection.
