Remove 30s wait for spam reporting

Don't know if it is possible but could you consider removing the timelock from spam reporting? Since spammers don't tend to just post once and having to wait half a minute to report doesn't exactly motivate me to do it.
 
Yes , It sucks reporting a spammer only to see an "Error Block" pop up to be told I need to wait 3 seconds ( longer ) to report ! 🙂
 
Is it necessary to report every thread? I usually just do 1, assuming the Mods/Admin take care of the rest.
 
I report any that have 0 (zero) posts , only 1 or 2 views , and have been up less that an hour. It's usually 0 dark 30 when I see them.
 
I miss the ability to click under a user's name, and have the option for "find all posts by user".

It made it easy to check whether someone was posting the same link to several threads.
 
Maybe we need a 10 - 20 minute minimum between posts for the newbee spammers ... some do 10 - 20 spams in 10 minutes
 
Seems odd there would even be a delay at all for using that feature. Maybe just make it require like 100 posts. I presume the purpose of the delay is because spammers themselves may actually use it to spam?

I usually just report a few as I presume it gets the mod's attention then they'll notice the rest.
 
New users should not be allowed to post hyperlinks and anything with URLs. Just make new users a unique group with different privileges than normal users until the get to a specific post count. I'd say that 100 posts would keep most out.
