Spam report thread too long by now?

The present Spam report thread [4] was initiated over a year ago when the old thread was 190 messages long, because "...the previous thread ... has served its purpose but is getting too long to be read comfortably on mobile devices". Well, the present thread has well exceeded that mark, as it was 422 messages long at the time I started to write this message.

Wouldn't it be time to let the present thread rest in peace by the same argument that led to the closing of the previous one? Not that I use mobile devices to visit these forums, but...

Thanks, good to know that.

So, unless someone has good reasons to consider the Spam thread is too long, and the will to do something about it, I suggest that we leave it as it is, and continue reporting as requested.

So, I guess that original and main reason (too long to be read comfortably on mobile devices) as stated three years ago and invoked last year, wasn't then so certain or isn't longer valid this year. In fact, no admin mentioned it before but that would use e-mail notifications better.

I suggest that we leave it as it is, and continue reporting as requested.

Copied & Agreed!

Would you agree then Claudio that adobe-admin's answer above is best to close this your own-old thread?

Cheers

Not sure which thread you are suggesting to close, but as a mere user, I have no power to close any thread.

Perhaps Rick is suggesting you mark Admin's answer as The Answer, so that people don't keep trying to provide new answers (in essence closing the conversation).

With a bit of luck we can have this thread reopened every year, especially if it remains a black blob.

I'm referring to this one thread (not the Spam report thread [6])... and sorry, I didn't mean to close it but to mark it as answered, or it isn't?

I also remember the words of John, and for that reason I have used the thread (and those before it), never the report link.

I do not recally John saying not to use the Report link.  For moderators the Report link is much more useful, for several reasons

  1. they can see that someone has reported something, wherever they are in the forum, and can take immediate action
  2. after a moderator has taken action, the report will be gone, and no other moderator needs to look at it
  3. for reports in the Spam topic, each moderator must check and see if there are any "leftovers" from a reported spammer

Pat, thanks for confirming that it is useful to use both channels, as I have been doing.

Neither do I.

This may make me reconsider, and maybe do both as does Claudio.
