I think notifying other members in the thread can essentially double (or more) the amount of spam, since it brings the thread back up to the active topic and may incite other replies from other members that keep those unwanted topics afloat.


IMO the above suggestion to rate the reported threads with 1 star (thus lowering the thread's rating from the default 3 stars) is a good idea.

It may even be used as a parameter to automate spam filter (If new thread is ranked <3 stars AND member's post <50 posts, then hide or mark the post for moderation).
