Actually, it seems as though it's been working fine so far. (It's certainly better than a post being reported 20 times.) There's enough moderators on the forum at almost any given time to where reported posts and spam don't last very long at all. For the two minutes it gets bumped back up the portal, it's not a big deal considering it is deleted shortly thereafter.

This helps cut down significantly on mod emails, as well as letting other users know that it's being taken care of.
