When I tried to report a spam message -the first time I tried this- I got a report form where I entered the reason for reporting. After pressing the submit button I got this message:

What am I supposed to make out of this?

that the mods already got rid of it and it is the deleted messages area. I have got this a few times myself.

Don't know. I sometimes get messages that I cannot not access a page.

Don't make anything of it.

So, you can access it?

This usually means that the message you're reporting was dealt with before the page refreshed - SPAM, etc are often caught and dealt with in minutes of getting posted.

Yes. I can refresh and access the page.

To think I actually teach students how to proof read their work. Today I was telling students that spell check does not catch all errors. Perhaps I should practice what I preach.

Remember that Tinaa has moderator access, so she can still access the deleted threads.

Most spams get moved to the removed threads section, but some of the moderators or admins simply delete them. If they were physically deleted, then I get the cannot access message.
