when you answer a thread even with the word "reported" you bump it up the new posts link hence it gets more "exposure" the googlebots capture the links in the post and then we get hit with more spam as their links get free exposure via our backbone. Every hit gets something for the spammers. Completely ignoring the spam and just reporting it via the red dot is plenty. the spam post gets pushed onto the back and doesn't get exposure. Ever wondered why some google ads on this and other forums seem random yet others pop up if certain words or links are mentioned a few times?
