When you report a specific post using the "Report This" link, a mail goes out to the moderators of that specific sub-forum. It means that it's enough to report one post of one spammer, because the user account including all posts will be wiped out and the ip address banned.

i think its better to temporary disable creation of new accounts.. (for 2 days..) to stop the spammers coming up with new user ids.. and probably a good way of authentication like e-mail address, mobile serial numbers etc// or something better.
and one more thing new user can't open new threads for one week.. !!!

I thought it required a minimum number of spam reports for the mods to act on it...

i suggest posting a response to the spam thread and indicate that he/she has already reported that thread as such so that the next user doesn't have to report it as spam all over again..

Also: @mods: When you clean up the threads from that user can you also cleanup the rss feeds for t.m.o.?
It's not fun wading thru spam entries trying to get to the first meaningful topic...

Just use Report This for now. I (and other moderators) respond as soon as possible with a one-touch ban-and-clean.
The problem is that whoever is behind this is relentless. I agree that another line of defense would be very helpful.
