Those kind of posts are easily covered by rule 1 - zero/low value, pointless, or uninteresting. I've reported thousands of posts like that (literally) with the simple comment "Low value spam", and my 100% accuracy suggests that the mods don't often disagree with my assessment of these posts. The problem is I could spend all day reporting such posts, and sometimes did, and by the time I woke up the next day there would be twice as many new spam posts to work through. Reporting the same user 100+ times and seeing no action taken against them is a pretty strong indication that you are wasting your time playing a never ending game of whac-a-mole.

Alright well I'm just gonna suck it up and start reporting shitposts as "zero/low value, pointless, or uninteresting"... is that the exact verbiage from the rule?

And I thought newbies could be banned for spamming if they had a certain enough posts deleted. Maybe that's an area of penalization that could be re-adopted.

Frankly this put a damper on my enthusiasm, which is why I didn't respond earlier:

At the moment, the number of unhandled reports is at an all time low, so don't expect much change there (but a surprise is always possible).

Except surely the all-time low for handled reports was previous to the filing of the forum's first report.
