Do you take the time to report a spambot when you see one?

I'm just trying to get an idea of the percentage of users who actually report this type of abuse.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to this poll.

    Yes and everyone should report them. So many give them thumbs down which mean nothing as they are posted by bots not people and if 6 people thumb them down instead of reporting them they are allowing them to flourish.

    I used to do it 100% of the time, but I stopped simply because it did no good. I think they need a better system for all this, because if I reported the Nike shoe.bot everytime I saw it, it would consume a significant amount of time. Seriously. It just stopped being worth it.

    Yes. Sometimes that is all I do. The Finance section is loaded with them.
