@rysiek @misty still, I feel like these spam waves would be almost trivial to contain with even the simplest of filters.

@oblomov True for a while, but not for long. Once you have simple filters the spammers find a way to get around them. And so it goes.

In this case my tech admin has a small script that dealt with it all.

So, yeah, it's whack-a-mole.

@ColinTheMathmo of course, spam filters only raise the bar and can be circumvented, but at the moment that bar is basically underground, so even just a little bit would help ;-)

I'm honestly thinking about a small script myself as a user, but I don't know if it's possible to automate the reporting.

@oblomov @rysiek Unfortunately, the builtin moderation tools don’t support anything like that.
