good idea.
and if you want to guard against abuse of this, grant the power to use this button only to those who have been site members for longer than 2 months or so, or who have at least 200 posts or some such arbitrary threshold.

this or having a mod on board more often would be very helpful.

further to this it wouldn't be awful to extend to nsfw and
record the users that have clicked on the spam button.

This allows discipline of a user that persistantly clicks on acceptable posts, simply because they do not like the post/poster/etc.

I would say rather than an arbituary figure like number of months here
or number of posts - I'd say you get the "This is Spam!" button only after you have donated and recieved a b3ta icon - that seems a fair way to define who is serious about b3ta and who is retarded who might spam the spam button ;)

you make good points, here and down below.
others have made sensible comments too, both in favour and against muu's suggestion. i hate spam and trolls quite a bit so i'd kill them if i could, but i understand the soft-hands approach.

bah, the b3tan overlords will do as they wish.
