This is true.
The real problem is not the spam itself per se, which we could ostensibly manage with not toooooo much trouble -- the problem arises when 10+ people report 1 spam message. Multiply that by, say, just 5 spams -- that's at least 50 reported posts for only 5 rogue spam posts. NOT gonna work on a board this size.
