most of these users with no knowledge of the game just spam the hell out of the board with low quality and offtopic discussion to complete post counts. I spend the majority of my time reporting, especially in the last few days, but that alone is ineffective.
I hope this is good as a reason why a post deserves to be reported to a moderator as the problem is not with most people but with some people who don't quite understand what they are talking about. That has made their posts end up as spam and really deserve to be deleted.
I have nothing against if the OP wants to moderate the thread to prevent spammers from posting as they please, that's fine. But I would prefer if users are caught spamming just to get paid regardless of the quality of the post, then the post should be reported regardless of whether the moderators will deal with it quickly or not.
