Too many to moderate. If they did moderate scam attempts, most threads on the lending section would be gone, as well as the goods and currency exchange forum.

Nah, AFAIK, mods don't interfere with scams.
So if you find a possible scam, you should make a reply there to warn the others rather than reporting the thread.
Mods don't usually interfere with Spams, but they may mark a thread with a warning like this:
Quote
Warning: Moderators do not remove likely scams. You must use your own brain: caveat emptor. Watch out for Ponzi schemes. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose.

See for example: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asicminer-entering-the-future-of-asic-mining-by-inventing-it-99497
I think that warning is on every thread in certain high risk of scams sumforums.

Since I'm not so sure, I'll list what I think should be reported:

-Offtopic
-Spam
-Anything else that breaks forum rules

Is that correct? Also, should necro posting be reported?
