.block spammers

@jimmo @dgeorge, could you please block the spammers?
I've already reported them, but cannot directly block them here

I kept reporting them as well, amd they get blocked, but the spammers change their identity.

There is a way to prevent interactions by users whose accounts were created recently.

A recent thread about this kind of spam: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/121439.

I think I see a comment that notes that the initial posts are not being blocked by the interaction limits above 😕 (edit: but it's confusing)

Edit: Looks like I cannot do it.

Maybe an admin can. I mentioned this to @jimmo in the discord several months ago. He may have turned it on, but it expires after the specified interval, and maybe that expiration happened recently.

[robert-hh]

Too bad.

Indeed, this setting is just a temporary one. I'm pretty sure I've enabled it before, but it eventually turns itself off.

I've now enabled it again.

Thanks for actioning, while not airtight, blocking a Spamers user will at least hinder them.
