I once submitted the same request twice or thrice before receiving a reply
and an actual action (by a human) was taken. Requests were sent about a
fortnight apart and lastly, the reply was sent rather promptly. People in
this group have urged me not to spend time reporting spam (including
Google Groups abuse).
I am beginning to suspect that Google will only check spam reports if a
certain 'magic' keyword is contained in the subject line or the body. Why
else would Cutts suggest codes that 'channel' the reports to a certain
group/department.
Notice that in that blog entry (URL seen above), Cutts shows special in-
terest in spam from the far east. One wonders if it's part of some plan to
further censor results in that region. (that's just a poor joke, actually)
Best wishes,
Roy
