Feel free to report any that have obviously been missed (ie spam that's about a day old) but there really isn't any need to report anything else , we already know the tell tail signs of a spammer and can find this stuff easily enough. We appreciate the help , but personally in virtually all cases I see the spam and have gotten rid of it before I even see the reported post , and I think that's the same for most of the other mods.
And if several people report the same post it does end up spamming our mod forum.
I only started reporting it when I couldn't bitch about it in the shoutbox anymore. Will do.
