The spam posts are NOT being marked by other people. They're being
marked by the program you're using. MT-NewsWatcher has a built-in junk
filter.

It's not perfect, but you can train it to be more accurate. When you
see that it made a mistake, use the "Mark as Junk" or "Mark as Not Junk"
command to correct it.

For more info, read the MT-NW online manual:

Thank you and others who have pointed this out. I could not believe that
MT-NewsWatcher was so inept at extrapolating my junk markings so
inappropriately.
