Thumbs up A Forum to Report Spam?

Rather than having an automated email message going to my email inbox and adding to the mess that is already in there (900 unread emails) - mostly spam, after clicking on the "report abuse" triangle, a thread should be automatically created in a forum called "reported spam" with the reason and the link to the post.

Opinions? The elected moderators just need to check the subforum every now and then and make sure it's all done.

I think there is already a forum devoted to spammers. Maybe that one could be used?

Sure. Do you know how to forward post reports to a forum?

Not a clue unfortunately. On the plus side, however, very few spammers breach our perimeter.
