Problem with projects
ok first of all if this doesnt belong here please move it
Now back to topic
Alot of times I see the same user posting there project about 10 times at the same time so that when your on the home page, in the new projects section you always see it there. Now I consider this spamming but I would like to get information from the scratch team about this problem.

Are you sure it's the same user? A person can only have one project at a time on the front page.
I have a feeling you might be encountering cases where a class is uploading their projects all at once to the site (which is why sometimes the same/similar projects occupy the Newest projects row). It isn't a form of spamming at all, just a class assignment passing being cycled through the Newest Projects algorithm.
