keithamus: I just noticed you suggested to leave spammy issues open and notify you. Will attempt to do that from now on. My goto is banning the person and deleting the issue, might be a bit hard to unlearn, but doable. Once you flag them will they appear as deleted to others?

If the spam team assesses that the user is spamming and flags them, then their comments and issues will be hidden from regular users’ views, and their account may be removed.

You’re welcome to continue deleting issues and banning people; it means that the users activity will be in the regular spam queue so it might take longer for the spam team to evaluate the users behaviour. As an employee though, any issue I mark as invalid floats to the top of the queue. We’re working to bring some extra functionality to repos and orgs to get similar functionality but I don’t know what that’ll shape up to be nor the timelines involved.

Thanks, sounds good. And yeah, happy to report for the greater good and I used to do that, but they eventually created something that was too onerous.
