Read the notice in red at the top of the page.

Personally I prefer if people don't report all the spams.  I am almost permanently logged in,  as is arisen and a couple of others.  The spam notifications actually spam my (and others) email inbox.

Well, arseen and I are in the same time zone,  so perhaps we are asleep.  😉

I'm not saying don't report it,  that's not my decision to make,  I would just prefer it if they didn't. Lol

I've been at work last 8.5 hours.
Prior that that I deleted 4 spammer's posts and banned them.

And I too vote strongly no reporting as I too are logged in almost all the time (current clear leader in time logged in ;D (among 2 other categories)).
So I say don't report anything that is less than day old.

When I'm not at work during day time, average time spammmer survives here is less than 5 minutes, many times mere seconds.

I'm just throwing this out there, but...

I moderate two forums.  Reports from both forums go straight to a junk mail folder that gets cleared out... well, whenever.  I never, ever go into that folder.

HOWEVER... Whenever I am online, I get little pop-ups saying that someone has reported a post - because I get that e-mail alert.  When that happens, I usually swing back by the forums ASAP and delete any active SPAM.  So, personally, I favor a quick report of the SPAM, but that's just me.

All the recent spam activity is driving me nuts. Maybe there should be a lock on new membership for the next month.
