Allow users to report the spam bots clogging up this website.

I posted a discussion and the four comments i got in response were all clearly ai written spam trying to hawk their dumb products. It's extremely concerning that these bots are just running loose on this website and there's nothing I as a user can do to stop it. It would be nice to know that mozilla is aware of and is doing something about the spam bots trying to overtake this website and fill it with advertisements, and being able to report a user for being a spam bot would be a good start.

Hey @orderofthetriad, users can actually report spam by clicking the drop-down arrow in a post/comment and selecting 'report inappropriate comment' then just add "spam" in the comment field - and it's super helpful because we're trying to cut down on the amount of spam that lands in here.

that circle with a checkmark is a BUTTON? it's literally low-contrast grey and looked like a "verified" symbol, why would anyone ever click that thinking it's a button? Why use a verified symbol in place of literally any other KNOWN symbol that meant to be an intractable button? Why not a meatballs or kebab or bento symbol? who designed that and thought it was a good idea?

I've written about this subject before, here:
https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/why-are-users-allowed-to-post-unchecked-web-links-in-conn...

"On the Mozilla Support site, a web link would need moderator approval before the post appears (unless if the user is linking to a whitelisted site).

So I was wondering why, on Connect, can users post site links with seemingly no pre-checks?

Any user who has spent enough time here will have noticed the advertising spam links. Some of these links may even point to malware."

The support site rarely has these kinds of posts, so my suggestion would be to adopt its policy of pre-moderating non-whitelisted domains before they appear on the forum.
