I know that reported posts are usually taken care of incredibly quickly (does jsw ever sleep??) but for the few minutes the offending post/thread is still on the forums, after reporting the post, is it OK to "bump" the post by replying "reported!" "have fun, spammer!" or some other line that is similar to what Vin Diesel would say before blowing up a spamming bad guy in a movie?
IMHO, it's completely not OK and this should be added to the FAQ/Rules.
I've noticed it before, but the fire under my bum finally got lit after tonight's "check out my..." thread. Incredibly explicit links were pushed to the top of the "new posts" and Digital Photography forum because of posts from members. There are young kids who shouldn't see that stuff and older members who would rather not be subjected to it. (anyone who saw the one from tonight could agree that was some freaky stuff.)
Even if it's spam not relating to pornography, constantly pushing the thread to the top of the page, just gets their site advertised a little more, their cell phone scam viewed several more times, a few more clicks to their iPod conga.
Should posts just silently be reported?
