Cortana 5 is a carbon-based lifeform that frequently visits these forums, currently residing in the United States. Practically every male on the site responds to her posts.
The Joyeuse IP Formula
I understand that you can't hide an offensive post right away, or block a user from the forums.
The report button is not your only choice. You can't just move on from the post? If the flood is being flooded (no pun intended) with spam, it's probably a good idea to stay out (or if you insist on staying during a spam attack, check your links and *gasp* use the report button).
Besides, the ninjas won't always be on. We could have a hundred mods, but spammers will wait for a gap in ninja log ins.
Honestly, if someone is around here enough, it would be silly of them to expect the mods to always be around to make sure that no one takes their pink ribbon off their eyes.
Anyways, this always happens when there's a spam attack. It's late at night and no one with shiny buttons is online. It's going to happen.

Don't get me wrong, if we really need it, let's get more mods. But we do have the tools to take care of the late night shenanigans.Well no you see we dont. I cannot block an offensive user, I cannot hide an offensive post, I cannot stop a user making offensive posts, I can do just about bugger all. My one and only option is to press a button (well push a button and then press a second unneeded button but that's another story) and then hope that:
a)Enough other people push the button and;
b)That there is someone online to see the results of said button pushing.
If there is noone on then nothing gets taken care of, unless one if of the particularly dense sort and thinks that the user(s) getting banned place any sort of value on their account and therefore getting it banned hours after the damage has been done is in any way a deterrent.
