I use the Report Post button whenever spam shows up to get rid of it. In fact, I used it just now. I like the efficiency of it; I click the button, send a report and usually within a few minutes the spam has vanished as if it never were. It makes me feel as if I were an integral part of the process, even if it's likely that a moderator would spot the spam without my intervention anyway.

I do try to be somewhat creative when I report posts. Of course, clarity of the message is of utmost importance, but I like to hope that I might make some moderator or administrator smile and thus improve someone's day that little bit. It's hard to be sure of this, however, since the reports essentially end up going into a vacuum. They could be going down the forum equivalent of the garbage chute. Right into the incerator, and I'd never know the difference.

My question is, what happens when I press the report post button? Where do the reports go? Who reads them? Am I allowed to know this, or is it classified information?
