Hmmmm... searching.. searching.. Don't see one here. Maybe phjim has banned the exclamation marks.

While we all appreciate the help - most all of the mods use "Latest Posts" and can pretty much spot the SPAM threads in just a few minutes. Something about "Britney, Sex, or Boobs" catches our eyes pretty quickly. There have been a few times I was PM'd about a post in a legit thread that was missed. That is helpful. Most times we catch those too, cause they're SPAMMING in threads, one right after another.

If there is a button, I've never seen it!

Yes, there are such buttons...on other forums I visit, each post has a button that says "report" in case there a problem with the post, such as flaming, baiting, or some other inappropriate message.

They are phpBB Bulletin Boards, too, so it's probably a feature that's just not activated on this forum.

At least most of them are polite enough to use the Off Topic forum.

it's a mod on phpBB I believe - on SMF forums it's a standard feature that will send an email to administrators and mods
