The mods on here are all already very busy, if they also get to do that then the mods will have less time for other things.

Actually we are not. You assume this but I disagree with it. Most of the time my report list is empty; maybe there is too much workload for some specific sections but as far as patrollers are concerned there is none. I could easily take on a 2x increase in reports.

I realize these accounts are usually found by Staff rather quickly, though there are always exceptions.

We don't need to concern ourselves with the 1% if we could reduce the spam amount by 99%.

I was more assuming along the lines of said user having a backlog of accounts with potential activity, therefore ranking up will not be a problem.

This makes it very easy to identify a spammer from my perspective.

Absolutely, that would solve a lot of the problems I was trying to outline. If this were to work it would have to be nothing more than a warning, and it would have to be strict.

I'm very strict about this. I think that the duration of the first signature removal should be 1 month and the second one either 6 months or permanent.

At least not one which wouldn't require all staff to be extremely active/more staff to be taken on.

This one doesn't require much more work; you just add an additional 'punishment' and evaluate the member the next time that he becomes suspicious.

Then I think you are a lucky moderator because others have said that they get many reports.
