@bmike If you are certain that a post is spam and would report it if SD doesn't detect something, then just directly go with !!/report. !!/report will first scan the post and report it with any detections it finds, along with a note that you reported it. If SD finds nothing that matches one of its detections, then SD will report the post with the reason that it was manually reported.
The wall of text was too much for me. I needed to start with a specific problem and work through the process. It will be super useful once I grok the flow
