Because of this topic, I tried to experiment with reporting some old posts to the moderators [spam, shit post and zero value], so that I find answers to what I doubt here.

Old post: We generally do not moderate posts this old for on-topicness, substantiveness, multi-posting, and other "cleanliness" issues.

I can actually come to one conclusion that reporting old posts is pointless as moderators will likely tag them as bad or unhandled. The warning above is very clear that moderators do not moderate old posts for any reason. So I'm going back to the old principle of still reporting the newest posts even if they are paltry compared to spam and posts that have absolutely no value for old posts.

To whoever the moderator handled my report, thank you for that.

This is just a warning to any of you who want to contribute to cleaning up forum spam by reporting it to the moderator, but if you want to continue for whatever reason, that's up to you.
