Who is the trash? Did someone get canned?
I love public executions! It's the only way to get the message across that us atheists are peaceful people.

I canned your nan in the trash last night... that's right: yer nan got canned.
... And let us not also forget totally normal, and not a threat to old ladies.

Ah ok! That would explain the weird phone call I got in the night.

Yeah... thanks for the thirteen reports on the same guy. I couldn't have spent the past twenty minutes closing reports without you.
Yeah, guys, about this. It's not like calling customer service and getting no answer; you don't have to hang up and redial. You hit that button, tell us why and then submit. That logs a report that we can investigate and sets off an alert banner to get our attention. We're not always going to jump straight away - the ivory tower in which we sit spans several time zones and we do have real lives - and we almost never give a callback to the reporter unless something very unusual is going on.
Today's lesson was brought to you by the words "patience" and "trust".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

"Have real lives!"
Who are you kidding! We know you! hehe
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

To put it another way...
While of course we would prefer several people reporting an incident rather than none, all you're doing by constantly hitting that button is this:

All the more to the point... if there's a spammer who's made several threads, or a user who you've already reported in one thread for something... we'd prefer if you made one report per user with spammers, and one report per thread with users.
I don't mind if 20 people report a post once each... but it's really unnecessary, and even somewhat painful when 20 people report a post each.. and one person also reports 10 more identical posts/times in the same thread. We'd prefer to not add this to our clause on 'abuse of the report system', and for members to act in good faith when they report (that they don't intentionally leave us with an absurd avalanche of paperwork).
Even though I have found that I really like the paperwork (wtb file manager )... it wears on me to see 10 reports of the same thing by the same person. Please, please please kindly refrain from doing that.

Sorry for my part in spamming reports in the past, I have learned to curb it since.
But yeah, be nice to our staff. Their majick is arcane and powerful.
