We usually get 2-4 separate reports regarding a spam post. These get forwarded to our e-mails, kind of like when you get a new private message. Speaking for myself, I appreciate it when people put it out there when they’ve reported something.

I happen to know that _Bangkok Post_ style guidelines for its writers and editors specifically say to use “antivenin” and not “antivenom.”

My mistake the _Bangkok Post_’s actually say to use _antivenene_ and not antivenom. “Antivenin” is not mentioned at all.
