I am thinking not to bother moderators to much, and I often go only with adding Negative Trust for specific user.
Sometimes I go with report + negative trust

Should we increase our reporting to moderators?

I thought I was the only one who noticed that crap. It lead me to several other spam accounts.
Damn I love reporting a Junior Member all the way back to Newbie.
Keep on reporting people!

I don't report nearly as much as I should but this will surely come in handy for anyone that does. It is really time consuming and I have respect for those that do it constantly. I don't even have 200 reports yet and even those took me a lot of time to gather.

Yesterday, I missed the massive spam wave that last for minutes or around one hour. That spam wave reminds me that I noted some helpful threads on effectively reports spam.
Two types of spam:
(1) Spam with non-sense posts, but different in contents (part of them plagiarised, or use some templates).
(2) Spam with complete post contents: like what happened yesterday
There are so many things to report, that you can find here: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ. Below, I only listed most common things, among which the rule #22 is the one I only learned recently.
Where to report?
The first thread you should think of when you want to repot spam is that one:

I just discovered interesting things on patrol page, so I updated the thread today.
Now, let me presenting what I discovered.
Beside the standard patrol page, that most of us know, at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol (1)
There is another 'hidden' patrol page, in which posts made in bounty threads disabled by default, at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol;nobounty (2). I knew about that page by @suchmoon or @Vod, and originally it was disclosed in Russian board.
Generally
So, what users can do if they want to limit posts in their interest boards, such as Altcoin Discussions?
There is solution, but users have to manually customize their patrol page. Here is a guide, given by @o_e_l_e_o
- Having a list of interest boards/ sub-boards and their identifying figures of those boards/sub-boards
- Bookmarking the customized patrol page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;boards=X
- Changing the X-value to their interest boards/ sub-boards at specific timepoints when they want to check spam posts.
Notes:
Users can includes multiple boards/ sub-boards in the customized patrol page
I listed a few boards/ sub-boards and their identifying numbers

Generally
- The (1) page is overwhelming spam posts, and there is no reason to find spam posts in bounty threads, with abundant proof of authentication or weekly report posts
- The (2) page is more helpful, but by default, there are still so many posts over many boards

Patrol isn't really hidden. You can make a link to it appear at the top of each page immediately above the link to your Watchlist by going to Profile - Forum Profile Information - and checking the box titled "Show patrol link".
What is hidden is that you can customize the patrol link to view other recent posts. Patrol shows the last 200 posts by newbie accounts. If you delete ";patrol" from the link, so you are left with https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent, you will see the last 100 posts by all accounts. You can also customize this by adding ";boards=x,y,z" on to the end, where x, y, z (and so on) are the boards you are interested in. For example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;boards=1 will show the last 100 posts in Bitcoin Discussion
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;boards=7,8,57 will show the last 100 posts in Economics, Speculation and Trading Discussion.
You can also chain this together together with patrol, so for example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;boards=1;patrol will show all the posts by newbies on Bitcoin Discussion out of the last several hundred newbies posts. I'm not sure exactly how many recent newbie posts the forum keeps on file to populate this list from, but it's not a huge number (in the region of several hundred) I think, and since the vast majority of newbie posts are spamming the altcoin boards with bounty reports, then usually this will only show you a small handful of posts.
