Yeah, and all that does is REPORT the post. It doesn't deal with (hide) the SPAM at all. Until a Mod gets on to have a look at it it's still there for all to see. In non-busy forums that can be a great deal of time. Hours, even days. Especially in forums that don't require much active moderation except combatting spam.

OR you can turn akismet on and that really knows if a thread is spam or not.

SPAM gets through no matter what Mod is used. There's no way to completely stop it. That's why there's countless mods using different ways to deal with it. Which is why something like this could really help. It get's the users to become part of the process of dealing with spam that no non-spammer wants to see.
