Loads of reasons, some of which have been given in this thread by various users. I didn't want to specify exactly what, because it varies from each user.

What is clear to me is; there was a real community drive a few months ago to concentrate on removing the spam as a community, and that was fantastic. However, recently as outlined above in this thread there's been a shift in mentality. I think reporting badges are more important now, than when they were proposed so I would like to see these implemented sooner rather than later, however I don't think they are a permanent fix, and rather patching an issue up for a little while until the regular reports have achieved the highest level offered.

While the community could play their job, I believe mods do have to be proactive as well. Most of us don't hang out at the local boards so spams might be overlooked there.

About the badge thingy, it's an interesting addition ngl. Any way to check with theymos about its progress?
