Hello AG I've got a question.
Do you get any thing from reporting spam?

No, but the spammy post may be deleted. In that case, whoever posted that would lose AP.

I report TONS of spam per day. I've never gotten anything from it. The only thing you get is the opportunity to be considered to get a place as a mod.

No, there is no reward. Why should there be a reward?

If there was a reward, people would just create fake accounts and spam on them and then report it for the reward

There is obviously no reward. I never said you get anything.

That would be rather dumb to do, because if you spam on an alternate account then they could trace your IP Address then they would just ban your IP from the site so you can't create anymore accounts.

If you report spam via comments then you get two AP.

That's because a spam report that way is a comment and is treated as such, but there is nothing extra for reporting spam.

I agree.

That's pretty obliviously. You earn 2 AP of a normal comment too.

I know, but I suppose the person didn't know since he/she asked if you get anything for reporting spam.

Your miss-bolding messed up my post.

This isn't a thread for you to ask your questions, it's someone else's thread. If you want help, then I must know what the question is. But before that, read the FAQ. And if you still have questions, then go around each sub-forum and read the stickies. The stickies are the bolded threads with red push-pins and are at the top of each sub-forum. Consider reading the help page as well. And if you still have questions, then create a thread about it, and someone will surely answer you.

Nah, don't think so. It is extremely annoying seeing nice comments and then a massive GO HERE link.
