I'm not sure. I know I tend to report LJ spam...then decide to delete the comments anyway. I don't like them cluttering my stories.
AHA:
What is a spam comment? What can I do about spam?
A spam comment is a comment automatically posted by a machine, often containing links to other websites or advertising. The same comment posted many different places where it isn't wanted can also be spam.
If you receive a spam comment on one of your works, follow the 'Spam' link that will appear for comments from unregistered users to report it to us. This will screen the comment from other users. You need to choose 'Delete' to delete it altogether.
