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.

Didn't knew that, sometimes i see that a spam take some time to be deleted and i report it

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
Arseen:
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.

ok

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.
