Allow a moderator to set a spammer as "autobanned". The script will then automatically confirm removal of all of their posts in the modqueue (upon every load) and hide these entries. The sidebar will be modified to contain a list of these users, and will allow their removal from the list.

Glossary of common Reddit terms
The amount of up and down votes on a submission are *fuzzed*, this vote fuzzing[45] is done for anti-spam reasons. So don't be alarmed if a lot of submissions to a subreddit appear to have a few downvotes, this is normal.

On a periodic basis, you should review the reported links. Always be sure to leave a distinguished comment when banning a post.
Sometimes, it’s easy to tell why a link was reported: the link may be broken, the post may be completely off-topic for your subreddit, or it might break whatever special rules you have for your subreddit.If you can’t tell, then just ignore the report.If you’re a junior moderator, and you think it might be questionable, or you’re just unsure, then don’t click ‘ignore’ and discuss it with the other moderators.
The procedure here is the same as for reports. Review the posts and comments stuck in the spamfilter and take appropriate action.
A useful tool to do this is by using the links listed at the top of this post. Remember to leave a distinguished comment where needed.
This is the most extreme sanction a moderator has available for dealing with troublesome users.If a user has had their posts repeatedly banned, and if they’ve shown no inclination to follow the rules of the subreddit, then you can ban them completely from the subreddit. If you are a junior moderator, you will probably want to discuss this with other moderators before banning a user completely.Note that when you do ban a user, they will get a PM, from you, stating that they have been banned. As mod you can also train the spam filter to "shadowban" a user, if enough of his posts get flagged as spam the filter will start to remove future posts and comments, this can be useful for those users that love drama.
Users contact the moderators for a variety of reasons, including:
Please be courteous and helpful when responding to users who are asking questions in good faith.If they are asking about the spam filter, the easiest thing to do is to go directly to their user page.You can see all bans and reports from there, and unban them as needed.Answer their questions if you can, and if you can’t, try to find someone who can, or have them post their question in /r/help. ^.

This is a collection that for me covers most aspects that you can encounter as a mod. Missing something extremely useful? Let me know and I'll see if I can put it in. I tried to link to the original authors where possible, if I forgot to give credit please let me know.

I got a message to come to this subreddit when I created a subreddit. This submit is good timing for me. Can I ask what the little alien does in between the mail icon and the preferences.

Kind of the same as older posts that cover most of the same material, but it's good to have an updated list :)
