Spammer Report Thread

When someone registers or re-registers and then goes on a spamming spree, mods and admins usually end up with dozens of U2U reports. To avoid these redundant reports, I would ask that members who see spammer activity report it in this thread. That way other members know that the activity has already been reported and it is simpler for mods/admins to know what needs cleanup.

This thread should not be used for ordinary post reports, only to note spammers like our recent persistent idiot.

My advice is, put this thread in a PW protected forum because if not then it plays to the sick ego of the spammer.

That would be counterroductive.

If all posts to the spammer report thread were to be limited to the spammer's name, the thread title, section and date password protection mightn't be needed. . .
A bit less complicated?

Making the report button a single-use feature might be an idea. . .
