    @alice Curious: I often see and report those weird drive-by bots that just reply to 15-20 people with some unrelated nonsense... is there any benefit to checking *all* of the posts they've made? Or is it good enough to select the first couple so it's clear what's going on and leave it at that?

    @screambiogenesis if they're mentioning people from a bunch of different servers, checking more boxes will notify those servers, but those shotgun spam accounts tend to get banned fast anyway.

    If it's an account that has been active for a while, then notifying more instances of the bad behavior will protect more people.

    The only downside to checking a ton of posts is that admins have to scroll to the bottom of the report to take action 🤷🏼‍♀️
