View Full Version : Forum suggestion, reduce "report post" waiting time

Someone from Funzio recently said that they actually do pay attention to the posts that are reported as being spam (using the little exclamation point in the triangle icon in the lower left corner of every post). I assume that everyone has noticed how big of a problem spam is on this forum. Right now I am limited to making one spam report every 60seconds. Is there any way that we can get rid of that time limit or at least reduce to 30 seconds or so? I am tired of having to wait so long to make another report when there are 2 or more spam posts in the same thread.

Edit: sorry I meant to post this in the suggestion area, but it is still a good suggestion

I wish that EVERYONE would hit that little Triangle in the lower left corner on each spam post so the spam notices would get taken down quickly. One of the devs responded to my previous post about this when I expressed that the squeaky wheel gets attention and said that they investigate the spam reports quite regularly.

Thanks for bringing it up again - I was considering a whole post requesting the everyone jump on the Reporting Spam bandwagon.

It really doesn't make sense to limit it to one per 60 seconds unless they are trying to avoid people spamming them with spam reports :)

I like to have fun with my reports. A simple "Spam" will do - but I like to send reports like "Canned Spam" - Viagra Spam - etc

I have been making spam reports since that dev replied to you actually. I sometimes get a bit creative on my spam reports, but usually just too annoyed to bother... Spam sushi anyone?
