I don't report chain letters, because they're endless. For every user that gets frozen for posting them, 10 other members are just learning about them and posting them themselves. I was on the neoboards yesterday, looking for a coco roller av, and noticed three or four people posting the same web address. It was the oldest trick in the book; the fake login screen. I wanted to post so badly, "This is a scam, please don't click!", but was worried the scammer would report me. And we all know the moderaters don't read every single report form. So I reported them without posting. Later that day, I checked the board thread, and 2 people had posted that their acounts had been hacked. I feel really bad for these people, but it's gotten so out of control, you can't even warn someone without risking your own account.
well, you have done your best. frankly speaking, if someone post a link to a CG or scam site, you can never be fast enough coz greed and curiosity react faster.
as for chain spams, you are right too. i don't report them as well. in fact, i suspect most of them are done deliberately. by posting spams like this, it's like telling players to report them. in fact, it may be their ultimate intention: stuffing the support with so many reports that it slows their efficiency. let the moderators handle it when they see them.
