You can check the IP/email of questionable users in our lists to find out their spam activity. Often, many spam bots send out messages disguised as normal and can be very difficult to define what spam is. I have found this useful in cases of Discord users creating bots to spam servers, and once you stop them from joining or having the ability to spam, they will likely give up since they can dedicate their time to another group without these protections.CleanTalk provides lists of spam active IP & Email addresses which were seen by the service in spamming on the websites, and lists of domains that are promoted using spam. If they get through certain restrictions you put in place you can simply implement a blacklist system that will allow you to stop them in the time it takes them to make another account. If you implement a system where a bot has to “verify” a user to get a role that gives them group wall permissions, that will decrease the amount of spam on your wall. It takes a few seconds for someone to make an account, the effort to get them deleted isn’t worth it because they’ll just come back later.

Instead of trying to get rid of the users, try to stop the users from causing harm in the first place. The report abuse feature works to moderate people who are reported by multiple users and reporting them multiple times yourself will do absolutely no good compared to just reporting them one time yourself.

#Forum spam bot mods
If the mods accepted reports from people on the Discord and DevForum, there would be so many reports in their inbox that you could dedicate a few people to reading them.
