people can become frantic to report spam... i know from experience here and there...
also, someone could become frantic to report an ennemy's posts just to make trouble and bother the administration...
these are two reasons and enough to filter them...
Most people dont go bonkers while reporting posts. That is even more unlikely in the case of a site full of admins. The Admin Zone even allows us to see the reported post thread. Most of the admins here are responsible enough to know when to report spam.

No they were three different spammers with different usernames and posts. One was peddling world of warcraft, other on phones and yet another, I cant remember. Reporting one spam with the same user name is enough. Not so with multiple users.

The SS may gave been taken after some consideration 4 seconds before but i had to wait for almost 1+1 =2 minutes for reporting the posts.
Unfortunately there is far too much spam posted on vB.org and it usually stays on the forum for quite some time before action is taken. It wont hurt anyone but the forum if such restrictions are put in place.
