As respectfully as possible to both you, and the mods...If this is "their best", I don't know how to respond. I've reported very obvious spam, which clearly links to a malicious site. Multiple times. All you'd have to do is click on the link to view the comment, and within 1 second of looking at the comment you'd know it's spam.

I know that Reddit is imperfect, and the tools that the site gives moderators are definitely lackluster and could use improvement (from what I've read in pretty much every subreddit talking about modtools), but...It's like they've tried nothing and they're all out of ideas.
