Simon:
There are forum settings in some forum software that allow limits to ease trust onto new members and stop spamming. This forum uses a mod that connects to a central database where spammers get reported too all over the world based on email, username and IP address, it is very effective as it only needs one or two forums to report them and they get banned the world over and are not even allowed to register on the forum, their registration is blocked and held for approval. So run of the mill spam is near nill. Actual real users that do cunning spam like all of the recent PCB fab posts need removing manually. Speaking of which a new member can post links etc, I have removed posts from a boad fab that put links all over his 1st post.

I've got my answer; it seems it's not worth discussing.  Thanks for your consideration.
Simon:
Indeed we hope everyone understands that at the end of each post is an individual and you can catch someone on a bad day. Any direct attacks as mentioned in my original post will not be tolerated or other obvious behavior that is clearly meant to disrupt the forum.

The idea of the report buttons is that you can flag up anything bad and we can review it, that does not necessarily mean it will be deleted although we will keep mental notes and if there is a trend on a particular user we'll do something but we can't protect everyone from the fact that on this forum you are talking to people from all over the world and a little understanding to the fact that there are people of all background and with varying levels of english.

We work on common sense - nuff said!
