Yeah, perhaps, with some kind of ombudsmen.
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.
I'm 17, by the way

re: wrongly deleted - That's why I suggested X number of complaints by SENIOR members and repercussions when you all gang up on allnameswereout:P
Just checking.

I don't know if you noticed my first post in this thread.
Since I had already used myself as an example I chose the last poster before my comment because it was easy to cut and paste the name.
And yes, if I was spamming, ban me.
But if I appealed to Reggie and he agreed, then whomever posted to ban me should suffer "some potential repercussions" such as an X day ban. Or in your case maybe an X hour ban.
/edit - maybe make another layer of member, say over 500 posts ,- with "license to ban", I'm just trying to suggest staying away from the complexity of full moderator duties.

And I use the minimalistic theme always on my N800s and Eee, usually on my desktop, and occasionally on my laptop, so my spam reports are probably down around 15-20% what they were...
Just today I saw a SPAM thread in the Buy & Sell forum; it a quite a few hours old and had twenty views, but it was still there.
Remember, when you see a thread or post that you think is SPAM, report it by clicking the report buttonlocated on the top bar of every post (all the way too the right, on the same bar the time of the post is).
I use the Classic vBulletin theme, so depending on the theme you use, the button may be in a different spot and look differently.

I don't mind the occasional post of someone trying to sell a phone, but my forum reading is primarily to click on new posts and see what is happening. As I've said before this forum has a very high S/N ratio, I like it that way.
