Report as Spam button?

This is for the site admins. I logged on to the site a few minutes ago, and saw some really weird thread titles. Curious, I clicked on them, to find out that it's spam. I know that's not allowed here on the site, so I started looking for the little button to report them as such, and realized... we don't have a spam button!
Is this an oversight? Or is it intentional?
If it is intentional that members don't have a way to report spam posts, I certainly understand, but I thought it would be helpful if the members were able to help keep this site clean, so to speak. We are all adults here, so I doubt there would be an issue of members abusing a spa filter...
This is mainly just an inquiry with a suggestion.

Comments
You can always email me or Ralf when you discover spam and we will fix it as soon as possible, but we generally don't read email when we sleep, so if it happens during the night, it will most probably not be fixed until the next morning anyway.
And one important message to everyone:
Please DO NOT post in a spam topic. Posting in a spam topic just brings it back to the top of the list and marks it as having unread entries, drawings peoples attentions back to it. As such, replying in a spam topic only serve to increase the visibility of said topic, and is servers to help the spam get more attention. Leave the topics alone and let them quietly sink down the list until a moderator can deal with them. If you want to draw the attention of a moderator, use a Whisper, as this will only lift the topic back to the top for the recipient of the whisper, and not everyone else.
But I have to comment: Generally? But there are occasional exceptions?
The PF team must be exceptionally good at sorting spam. I've never seen any on this site at all.
I've seen it a couple of times over at the Guild, but never here
Keep up the good work.
Jolly good job cleaning it up! Thank you Profantasy Team
Yes Quenten! Great idea for an annual :P
