I feel like there is more Spam lately, so maybe we could have a "Report as Spam" button next to the Request-Mod button? At least in the parts of the forum where spam is most likely to be posted?
Bonus request: If a post that fits a specific spammer pattern (idk, 5 links in the content and by an account that doesn't have any characters yet or something like that) is reported by a certain amount of users, it could be hidden from view until the mods can review it.

That would be just cool and very practical 
But I would loose the ability to send at least some funny words to the one mod deleting that(censored) spam.
Thinking about certain mods that answer with same enthusiasm
But yes, seriously, think about it. I know that ‘backstage’ mods have also special tools to delete quite fast any signaled bot (I mean in seconds! truly!!)

If it would take away precious bonding time from our beloved deer and an enthusiastic mod, I'll have to second guess my request! 
I think this would be a nice addition to make things more convenient ^.^
Or like a checkbox after you've pressed the request mod button that just says something like "this is a bot" or "this is spam", so you check that box instead of needing to type something in the textbox... and then people (or deer-people) could still type something there if they needed or wanted to

I've usually just been typing in "spam."
Sometimes "suspected bot" or other slightly more detailed things.
But I don't know if it's make much of a difference for users, and the mods will still need to put in the same effort to make sure the feature isn't being misused (by misunderstanding, misclick, or actual harassment).
