I reported 3 (THREE) spams just yesterday. Can we please change the setting that says that I must wait at least a minute between spam reports. Please?
I hate spam. Really. I HATE spam. I'll go out of my way to report each and every one I come accross. If you say I must wait 5 minutes, I'll wait 5 minutes. But I would really prefer not having to wait. Thank you.

I report them as well, and just do something else while I need to wait 60 seconds. But, if we report the same post several times... is that really useful for the moderator/administrator?
We could use a few, active (undercover) moderators dealing with simple issues like these. There is already a thread about that suggestion in this sub-forum though. Consider to contribute to it.

I'm especially thinking of a few recent spams where the poster hit several subforums with the same canned spam and his total post count was the sum of those posts.

If someone's post was deleted as spam, a message would automatically be sent to them informing them of what happened and why. That person could complain, and anyone who wrongly deleted a post would face some sort of bad consequences.

Just be glad you're not dealing with teenagers on this forum. They try all kind of tricks to work around the rules. Dealing with these spammers should be much easier.

Remember, when you see a thread or post that you think is SPAM, report it by clicking the report button
I use the Classic vBulletin theme, so depending on the theme you use, the button may be in a different spot and look differently.
By clicking that button, any forum Administrators (Reggie) will receive a message so they can take care of the issue. This will help keep the forum clean and SPAM-free.
