Moderators can't see if a user has been reported or had x amount of posts deleted recently, unless they manually check via the modlog.

I often reported users with a comment along the lines of "I have x number of good reports against this user for spam in the last 30 days, please consider a ban", which was easy to do by simply visit my reporter stats page and searching for their username. Even when I the number of reports I had against that user (never mind everyone else!) was in the order of 50+ or even 100+, they did not get banned.

- The community seems to have become tired with reporting, whatever the reasons that may be.

Because when it comes to reporting spam, there is no point. I don't care about gamification, or rewards, or badges, or anything else. All I care about is being able to have an intelligent discussion without spammers. But as I said in an earlier post, I could spend nearly every waking hour doing nothing but reporting posts (and indeed, it felt like I did do this in the past) and see next to no difference. If you delete a bounty hunter or sig spammer's post, they are simply incentivized to make 3 more. If we aren't going to take any real action against the spammers, then you might as well be asking users to use a cup to empty a bath, while refusing to turn off the faucets.

Do I think these types of posts should be removed under a strict reading of forum rules? Yes, it is a low effort post.

So then you would be well within your right to report it. If I had my image deleted, I would know the community thought it was spam. If I posted it again and it was deleted again, then there would be no doubt in my mind. If I did it another 8 times, then I can't really complain about a temp ban. If that's still too lenient, then increase it to 20 posts or 50 posts in 30 days. Even then we would find no shortage of accounts hitting the threshold.
