In the left sidebar on the forum page there is a block "New forum topics".

I think it would be a good idea to prevent any posts that have been flagged as spam from showing up here.

This is currently the core new forum topics block. If we want to do this, the block should be replaced with a Views block so it can use the extra filters.

I think it's worth it.

In the current situation you might as well remove the block:
spam only

I agree -- at least if something is tagged as spam, its still published but the link hit rate will go down.

Pushed an update to the dev branch which includes a view that filters out the flagged spam forum topics.

Looks okay, and I went ahead and removed some workarounds we had for the core forum block.

This has been deployed, but it missed some formatting work.

Specifically, the list style adds the same margins that were present on the core block, making the list readable.

Awesome. I just marked a new piece of spam and it was gone from the block immediately.

Might it be an idea to do the same thing with the block at https://www.drupal.org/#tab-forum ?
