it would be much more useful to use the "report to moderator" option and hit them where it hurts the most, in the number of deleted posts.
I kicked out several shitposters from the Bitcoin discussion that way, they simply realized that it is not worth it for them to write posts that will be deleted.
That's really good but it would be much better if we have ban option like temporary from the forum mods if a person receives beyond certain number of deleted posts in short time frame so this can be a lesson for the members who is not giving much concentration about the quality of the posts they were making.
And another thing, people who are posting below those reserved post can be more effective in these cases so anyone who see such posts should give some attention to the post and if the person is doing such kind of thing more often then they should be reported to the campaign managers.
For 1xbit there is no comment because they never going to care anything so we can only hope that mods can take some actions.
