    I used to report spam with the link "Vote to Remove Message", but it is not visible for me any more since I'm not a "bronze debator". I think that's a step backwards since now spam stays for weeks in my favorite forum and nobody of us mortal, occasional participants can do anything against it. Why not give this right more freely? If you want to exercise some control, you can restrict it to normal participants, and give plus points for reporters and minus points when reporting ham as spam.

      Or merely highlight it so a bronzer can run some despamification.

        Right, but every spam message then will occupy three different people: One who highlights it, one who reports it, and one who eventually removes it. I think that's too much time and attention wasted on a piece of sh*tty spam. Removing spam must be much faster and simpler than creating spam, otherwise we have no chance to control that pest.

          The general method of handling spam is to post a link to the spammers account here so Chris can nuke everything it's posted instead of just the messages you find.
