Seriously, I have disapproved over 5 spam posts today and I am going with at least 2 posts per day.
I could be the epic spam disapprover if something like that exists.
EDIT: Just disapproved a "gay anal sex" advertisement.
Spam bots need to be tamed.

What do you mean with "reported x times stat"?

If I understand correctly, a bit of metadata attached to each forum user, much like their post count or location, that simply states how many times they've been reported. I like the sound of it; you could even sort the
member list by reports, descending, to see who the worst offenders are, and have it be invisible on posts if the count is zero (i.e. legit forum members wouldn't have "reported 0 times
...yet" sitting under their name). From my short time here, this doesn't seem like the kind of community that would misuse such a feature out of spite, either (correct me if I'm wrong
).

I just ban every person whom I disapprove, problem solved.

I mean that there should be a stat for the user that disapproves posts.
Y'know, when you disapprove a post the stat goes up. I totally do not mean the has been reported thingy.

There should be an archive for all the disapproved posts, where the moderators and admins can go in and perma-ban the ones who persists on getting back.

That would be good, also, I like he sound of a reporting system, so if someone spammed, we press the report button, which would flag the post to an admin, and if they get reported three times hey get banned or something...

This would mean that I would henceforth be unable to verbally degrade and/or humiliate those which are unfamiliar with current societal values.

Your lack of grammar makes my eyes bleed, even if it is only for demonstration purposes, and yes, I know I used to post like that, don't remind me!
But yeah no, I think a reporting sysem would work quite well, jus so long as it isn't abused by jerks...

I would have assumed the correct grammar for that sentence to be "who are unfamiliar" as we are referring to people, no items...
