Hilariousandco has a point... Just report one post and state everything, ex. "there are similar post from this forumite on different threads/boards" that way, we can check the profile of the said person and do what's necessary...
Moderators sometimes give conflicting answers. It's either the above, or sometimes they say it's easier to handle them if they're all reported.
It would be nice to have clear guidelines for people who report a lot, if all mods handle them the same way. That's the least amount of work for everybody.
If it is from one forumite, then report just one post and state in the report that there are other similar post in other threads, and as I've said it is easier to just look at their profile and check their post history and we can delete posts from there without going into threads and delete it one by one...
Snip
The rule of thumb that I usually follow is if the same user is posting the same garbage just report one of their posts and note in the comment field that there's many more like it in their post history. Sometimes it's easier to identify situations such as posting "res" type posts in small threads you can just report one of them and let the moderators know in the comment field that there's more like it on the thread from different users.
Exactly...
