Pasting subject into the body here for this^1 reason

That means that no report is being sent because you are registered as a
mole reporter and the 'theoretical' report is being sent to the 'null'
device -- which is nowhere.

The good news is that you won't be exposing any spam evidence to anyone,
blackhat or whitehat, because there is no report sent.  The bad news is
that your spam report isn't counted toward the SC blocklist.


^1 The question or important element of a post needs to be in the body
of the message 'first' or most importantly -- not just the subject.  The
correspondent uses the words you have expressed in the message /body/ to
answer you.  If the important words only appear in the subject, the
correspondent or replyer has to paste the subject words down into the
body to make a coherent contextualized reply.  One style for guidance is
to write the body /first/, and then make a subject to 'name' that body.
