@ernest is the only mod and they have way too much on their plate to have to deal with it.

Report a spammer once, for the good of the community, and then block the 'user'. Problem solved. :)

Problem solved. :)

Not really.

There has been zero moderation here. The mod log is empty. (again, not an attack as there are no mods)

So the report currently is not seen by anyone.

Blocking is a game of whack-a-mole, I have been blocking several accounts a day. Next day, same spam links on new accounts.

Anyone coming to the mag for the first time will see an endless wall of spam and not bother again. So it is hostile to new users.
