Describe what you would like us to do:

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

ASAP

Thanks for the report.

FYI, you can look in the headers of the email and follow the 'archived-at' link. If it gives a 404, then the spam has already been removed.

Good to know, thanks.

It would be even easier with a specific link for reporting spam (rather than the general issue link) to which one could just forward the offending message and have a filter extract the relevant fields. I'm probably not the first to suggest this so I assume there's some reason for not doing it.

Well, how would that vet the requests? Whats to stop someone from just submitting every post or every post they don't like?
(please don't say AI :)

Anyhow, it's not yet gotten high enough on the priority list to try and automate.

Of course. I didn't mean that the report should be automatically lead to removal or banning. It would still need to be vetted as it is now, but would make for less manual repetitive work for the reporter.
