    i don't really care!
    The easiest way I've found to report it is to take a screenshot of the PM, paste it into Paint, save that, then insert the picture into the e-mail you're going to send the abuse team. That way they get all the details, & see exactly what you received. You've then also got a copy for yourself that you can keep without taking up space in your Inbox.

    The easiest way I can see is for the mods to build in a 'Report as Spam' button on posts/pm's which will shoot all the info to the mod who looks after all this sort of stuff.

    Can't PMs to multiple people be blocked,that will at least discourage them if they have to send them individually
