That is unfortunate. I'm always a bit paranoid when banning a whole page of spam in Cyrillic - maybe one of these is a real question? Maybe I missed a single English post in there?

I've also occasionally approved posts that had been posted weeks before, having never been approved :(

If they have an issue, they'll message someone about it.

Can't be to careful.

I've seen fairly tame questions about mods or comments about things that just get reported. They're not "real" questions I suppose (mostly stuff like, "x thing is cool", or "Why won't x thing work", one word responses). But they're not spambots either.

No it doesn't show who reported, since anyone who has an account on the forums can report. The point of the report system is so someone can anonymously report a post without having to be singled out.

JoshuaNuH wants us to gamble. He's betting his posting rights. Let's see how this hand plays out for him.

Filled a full page of the Randomness in a matter of hours. Rather annoying.
