The issue with re offending users is likely because a limitation to SMF. Moderators can't see if a user has been reported or had x amount of posts deleted recently
Do Mods act on external evidence? I've just reported 2 topics for bump spam, showing
loyce.club link 1 and
loyce.club link 2 as evidence. The user has
no posts deleted by Mods, but bumps his topics about 6 times more than allowed.
What happens to such a report? If his latest bump gets deleted, he'll probably just continue. If he deleted his own post before a moderator sees my report, does that invalidate my report?
You will need to report a post that will not get deleted. If you report a post that gets deleted, your report will also get deleted.
