Hi all,

I have seen the "Spam reported" signature on quite a few (and definately spam) posts, but it looks like posts are not going away from forum.

I was wondering if a spam post disapears automaticaly when a certain number of users report it (so i have to report also in order for spam posts to be removed) or if spam post will dissapear when a moderator marks it as spam (so i do not have to do anything if the post is already reported).

I hate spam and i would very much like to help kill spammers.

lol.

When you report spam it creates an issue in the webmasters queue. A webmaster then has to delete the spam.

It would be nice if spam was hidden when certain people report it or if a person with a verified account reports it. But that's not how it works.

This is a post about the recent influx:

I agree with Brendan. It has to be configured by admin on what to do about the reported spams.
