Hilariousandco has a point... Just report one post and state everything, ex. "there are similar post from this forumite on different threads/boards" that way, we can check the profile of the said person and do what's necessary...
Moderators sometimes give conflicting answers. It's either the above, or sometimes they say it's easier to handle them if they're all reported.

It would be nice to have clear guidelines for people who report a lot, if all mods handle them the same way. That's the least amount of work for everybody.

Also homographic attacks, I do report some and I try to put proof, do you need a proof really for every post? Because it takes time to edit pictures and upload them?
Just one post per account is enough to get them banned for plagiarism. It's unfortunate we can't see which accounts have been banned already though.

It is fairly ease, just a quick auto-correct to determine if one post has changed characters > reference here.
You made that thread one week after I made this one: Plagiarism: the difference between "wallet" and "wallet".
The easiest way for me to detect it, is copying their text into an xterm that doesn't support the weird characters.
That turns this:
Code:
all coins have their own wallet just check their site. It's better to store your coins on a hard wallet like trezor or paper wallet.
Into this:
Code:
#ll c#ins h#v# th#ir #wn w#ll#t just ch#ck th#ir sit#. It's b#tt#r t# st#r# y#ur c#ins #n # h#rd w#ll#t lik# tr#z#r #r p#p#r w#ll#t.

I've been planning to get more of them banned, but I don't want to investigate the ones that are banned already.

This will be a healthy discussion for those who report.
I would like to know if I report 1 post two times or a two people report one same post does it comes as a two different cases or one case with 2 reports?

So, reporting to one mod (does not matter on which board) will do the job?
Yes it doesn't matter i've seen rickbig, mitchell and other mods move threads from boards that they're not assigned to moderate. I guess all mods would see the reports cmiiw it depends on which mod is active during the time you submit your report.

I'm not sure on specifics but AFAIK it's mainly the global moderators which have the full perms to see reports from all subforums. The rest only moderate the subforums they are assigned to and naturally can only see reports from their sections

What I have done in the past is report the 1 post stating " spamming same message in multiple threads" or something along those lines.

While I don't know the extent of the powers moderators have I assumed it would be taken care of, or passed on to the others if it needed to be a team effort. It usually gets the trick done, this way you don't bog them down.

Yesterday I had few hours of long boring time. In one go, I reported over 200+ spammy posts (LOL) until I received a message from hilariousandco.

You don't need to report every single instance of ref spam. Just report one and leave a note that there's much more.

Then I stopped my reporting and later discovered hilariousandco indeed banned those users.

Today I have encountered another spammy user ( katyaskripnik ) who is actually spamming the same contents through out different boards. Please have a look on the users post history

Same contents but in the boards: Serious discussion, Altcoin Discussion, Project Development, Economics, Press, Legal and Bitcoin Discussion.

Now what I understand that different board have different mods. In this case of  katyaskripnik, if i report the content which is on the Serious discussion board then will the other mods from other board will be able to see the report? I guess not. And if not then I have to report the individual contents for individual board?

PS: Since I believe reporting in individual board is more logical that's why I have reported each contents to the boards they were posted.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.


Update: The user has more spammy posts. In fact all the posts on his post history looks spammy.
