That's nice, but you're wasting server space and bandwidth by reporting
each and every time you send an abuse report. Would you mind not doing
that? Posting here that you've filed a report does not stop other spammers
from spamming.

You're wasting server space and bandwidth by repling to my reported posts.
Can you please not do that?

If you didn't make them, he (and others) wouldn't reply.

Actually, I think it does.
Some spammers actually look before they post. And when they see a
spammer has been reported and lost his account, they go elsewhere.
And BTW - your message is wasting about 5x the server space and
bandwidth that any of Viper's does.

Your obnoxious, obtuse reply won't change the truth.

I haven't noticed any difference in spam rates in here. If anything, you
coild maybe argue it has got worse.

heh - this is one that will run & run. can't think of a way to
scientifically measure the effect of announcing the report - or otherwise.
I'd guess (not measured) that most spam floats in from the google chav
site - if that is so then I suspect that 'report' posts are only seen if
they appear on the first page of results.
