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.

    Generally, the admins. I don’t know if kbin/mbin are different, but on most platforms the admins don’t see what’s going on in each community unless someone brings it to their attention.

      Yeah, it’s the same in mbin. It’s pretty common for spam bots here to create their own magazines to post in, for some reason. It’s a bit weird, because generally nobody will see their posts at all. I guess it might have to do with SEO?

      Anyway, I try to weed them out by sorting by new and local now and then, but other than that they’re hard to spot. Reports are much appreciated.
