Mods: Please Consider Reducing Flood Control from 60 to 30 seconds, when we are REPORTING posts

When I find someone who is clearly spamming the forum, I frequently go to their profile and look at recent posts to see if they are a serial spammer.

When I see the serial spammer, I am confronted with Please Wait 60 Seconds Between Post Reports...

Then I have to waste time waiting to report spammers...

    Well until they make the change (IF they make the change at all) just do your research before you report any of their posts, then include the links to all of them that you want to report in that 1 report.

    Hope this makes sense, I think I used the word "report" too much. lol

    I used to do the same thing until I was contacted by
    the moderator Ken Strong a few months back and told
    to just make ONE complaint per offender.

    Apparently, making multiple complaints against the
    spam poster creates extra work for the moderators.

    I was told to just make one complaint against any
    spammer and then some of the other forum members
    would also contribute to esnure a quick ban of the
    spammer.

    Dedicated to mutual success,

      In a recent thread, Ken also mentioned reporting the offender once, but to make a comment noting that there are multiple threads where the offense occurs.

      Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
