Yes, what **Colibri** and **twickster** said, but I’d add: we’d rather go through a dozen reports of the same spam than have people avoid reporting something for fear of duplication. Failure to catch spam quickly is worse than having to go through multiple reports. So, if in doubt, report it… please! Then post that you’ve reported it so others needn’t.
