Can any OG member or staff or moderator answer the following question? If posts are reported in sections that don't have mods, how are those posts handled? Do they go to a global queue of some sort for other mods to handle these submissions? If so, then would it be beneficial for users to report posts in these mod-less boards, or would their reports be pointless?

I might be wrong, but if my memory serves me right; during one of the discussions (possibly the one where a mod for Politics and society section was to be appointed) it was told that such reports go to Global Mods; also I think there was a concept of troopers on BitcoinTalk. Guess the answer is too hazy...
If this is the case, then the users of the particular boards that OP is talking about should be able to click on the "Report to moderator" link to at least bring attention to posts that break the rules. It might be wise to select a moderator for these boards based on how many posts they have accurately reported, along with a review of their history on the forums.
