SE, Please give us a reward for reporting RMT spammers:

Sure, don't forget to ask your local police department if you can receive a reward for reporting noise complaints, too.

BRB, creating a bot to spam RMT reports to maximise my reward gains.

The reward is seeing all the spammer's posts instantly disappear. Maximize what?

No, because then they'll be people spam reporting just for the reward. Consider it a form of community service, if you must.

I feel like SE is a bit behind the times on their reporting methods. Blizzard is really good about it, once you report someone it auto-blocks them and they even send you a message letting you know "action was taken" a few days later (they basically banned or did something but can't discuss what they did with you)

If they offered a reward, people would probably start creating dummy spam accounts and then report them for credit.

I've given up on reporting the advertiser bots, though. They'll just create a new one and nothing will change except the number quoted in SE's boasts about how many users they have and how many accounts they've banned.

If I send the police department a noise complaint, they will investigate it and you can visibly see it. Hopefully hear the difference too. If I report a RMT bot, it's like I spent the time talking to a wall. The bot doesn't go away, they keep sending RMT messages and when why the ban wave hits they are immediately replaced and nothing has changed.

If the noise complaint doesn't work, they are other steps which can be taken. When the report RMT fails, which happens 100% of the time, you are left with the only option of hiding from the RMT bots.

their reward gains this is exactly why the suggestion to be rewarded for reporting is absurd.
