The problem is, the report button is probably a standard part of the vBulletin package. To change how it works is probably more work than its worth for the amount of spam CD gets.

This has come up in the past and I said I would try to work out some better methods to report and curb spam.

Current:
User reports. E-mail goes to all mods. Thread is created in mod area. User replies. Many times multiple users report, causing multiple e-mails and replies to the mod-thread.

Proposed:
User reports. E-Mail goes to all mods. Thread is created in mod area. A 'reported' reply is automatically added to original thread. Report-to-mod functionality is disabled for that thread for 1 hour, to prevent duplicate reportings.

I'm also going to go through the 'reported post' e-mails and see who reports the most consistently. It looks about time to find some more moderators, especially those who are so active.

The 47 second rule is an issue when deleting users and posting responses in the moderators thread. Is it possible to remove timer on the mods thread only?
