I like the idea, but do feel the moderator (maintainer) should automatically be notified when this happens.

Sometimes a moderator misses things, but is still actively involved in a community. So it seems right to keep them in the loop somehow...

But YES -- I do think SPAM should always be addressed as quickly as possible. And we all know some of these things contain viruses, so...

This!

Yeah, I agree the mods/maintainers should be notified. I think it's silly we can report obviously adult/pornographic things but we don't have the ability to report spam unless we are a maintainer/owner of a community.

If this was implemented, a report to the maintainer should also include the username of the user who made the report - that might cut down on people reporting others out of spite.

I STRONGLY agree with this!

[art_witch]

This is a really good suggestion.

This.

Or maybe the ability for maintainers to decide in their community options whether or not they want members reporting spam.

Good idea.
