That's why I do it like this:

Takes less than a minute to do.
Probably less time than posting on here complaining about it.
Then I just ignore it and leave MSE to do their job.
If they don't know about it because nobody has reported a user (as opposed to simply hitting the 'spam' button), don't expect posts to disappear by magic.

That though means the forum team need to be on hand to deal with it and occasionally that can take hours. There are also a large number of unique spammers around as well.

The forum team actually request users click the spam button as that will eventually remove them without forum team input.

In that case, as there doesn't seem to be much point in reporting the user, I'll adopt the same attitude as those posters who say they can't be bothered to hit the 'spam' button.

I've clicked on a few spam posts this morning, I'm not clicking on any more - sod that - we should all leave them to clog up the boards, The forum team will have to do something then!
