I think this is in the incorrect forum.....it should be in Letting off Steam.

I used the report post once for a spammer and got a reply telling me not to report obvious spam because it wastes mod time. I don't use it anymore

I imagine this was some time back. The system in the background is a little more streamlined now.

However I now find it increasingly frustrating when posters start threads that have been repeated before, sometimes the same type of question asked several times over the same day, without searching or taking a serious thread wayyyy off topic

That's the nature of boards like this, I've noticed with other boards I've posted on as well. They have a certain life-cycle. People come and go, and the same old chestnuts get posted again and again. Same old arguments too - speeding, drugs, noisy neighbours etc, etc...

Then people (regulars) start questioning - 'why bother posting? - I've already answered this a year ago. Someone else will reply'. Eventually, people get bored with it all, and don't bother even reading the board.

In fairness though the posting guidelines do advise against reporting 'obvious spam' - so maybe this was the case?

Might have been, just remember it had been there for a couple of hours at the time so thought it had been missed
 

...And the following is the statement which appears when you click the report post icon.

Please do not report obvious spam. The moderators notice it very promptly and delete it. Use this facility to report breaches of the Posting Guidelines. The moderators will decide whether or not the post warrants editing or deletion.

The standing instruction is not to report obvious spam.
