If there's a thread for reporting spam, unless it's self moderated and posts are archived and moved on that thread after the report is resolved, then that second idea would be open to spam and hard for forum staff and moderators to navigate through.
Spam you say? Hard to navigate you say?
Luckily, I've created a solution!A list on the first post - that's what I have. Suggestions can be made. I didn't want to create a self-moderated topic due to possible backlash. Besides, if they're spamming on the anti-spam thread... what do you think is going to happen, exactly?
It would be easier for moderators to look through. There's references to show the user's spam.
