Removed the posts :)

System does need slightly better notifications system or display though.

Thank you. I see mine is gone too, but noo biggie. It verged onto the trolling side.

Joker's mod does this. Why not use it?

Arantor:
Think about that for a moment. The mods in use here are because they are things that are not present in SMF (topic solved, helpdesk etc.) but that have distinct use here.

Consider what would happen if it became the situation that the SMF team find the moderation panel so bad even they didn't use it. What message would that send?

Right now, the user is muted, warned or watched so as to keep track, but that's all that the non admins can do.

It depends on the spammers but I've found that banning the accounts are generally a waste of time if you don't do it immediately.  Most spammer accounts I see come in, spam, and then are never used again.

What would be good is if the team can take a person to the level where their posts require approval.

They can, set the "warning" level to 100% and the person can't post.
