I wanted to ask something about handling spam, but magazine sized, since I noticed things like https://kbin.melroy.org/m/gaming and https://kbin.melroy.org/m/berita12 that are closed and only seem to host spam links. Do you report all the posts, just hail the admins? Sorry if it's not the right place, couldn't find MbinSupport or something similar.

I don't know how it is on mbin but on Lemmy the best thing to do is message the admins directly, and not bother reporting. This is because Lemmy's developers give way to much credit to the legitimacy of forum moderators and do not allow a way for reports to only be sent to administrators, meaning that community mods like these can easily dismiss reports before they are seen by admins. So best thing to do is message them directly at the current time.
