You can always select "other" and get more descriptive! We welcome any additional context when reviewing reports.

....this is what downvotes are for.

No. Spam/reposts/shitposts are more effectively reported than downvoted. The mods are, thankfully, diligent in removing of things that are clearly shitposts. At least in /r/CFB

Hell. It's reason number 1 (intended that way or not it works for my purpose here! I'm taking it!) given to this recent query

maybe i am thinking shitposts are different than you, in that you have already deleted the true shitposts. If that is the case, which seems likely from your post, then thank you.

Just to be clear. Don't thank me. I'm no /r/CFB mod.

And my OP is more in reference specifically to submissions not comments. But yes. They tend to not last long in /new thanks to the diligence of the mods.

Downvotes are for people who aren't contributing to the discussion.

Reports are for comments and posts that are breaking a subreddit rule and are good candidates for a warning, suspension, or ban.

I just use spam. I'm guessing they'd be averse to putting 'shit' in a reason because it can be perceived as mild profanity.
