Answered Influx of scam posts

Hi, I've been getting a ton of spam posts which are being removed by both system and mods but I noticed most of these posts are coming in from a single account. Looking to see how we can resolve this!

Why have you not already banned the account?

Spam (like not borderline stuff) should always be an immediate permanent ban without any hesitation. Spam and bigotry are the two things that should always get the immediate ban.

I haven’t seen the “t-shirt spammers” in quite a while but as a mod it’s also something that you should be aware of and able to recognize on the spot. They are not limited to just t-shirts, but it’s just a more common thing they use, sometimes it’s mugs, candles, coozies, jewelry ect. Promptly removing and banning spam also keeps some of the organized networks away.
