Hi,

I have a tiny newsfeed community here on SDF. We got a spam comment by another user registered on the instance. Looking at the account, all it does is link spam. Is there a process to flagging the account for moderation at the instance level, rather than flagging to block in individual communities?

The only way we've been able to reach the admin(s?) in the past has been to ssh into an sdf server and posting on the internal BBS. My bet would be that they are not using Discord or similar.

OOF

that sounds pretty brutal,
it's like the equivalent of shouting into the void

they also have an email address: membership at sdf dot org, but yeah, the internal BBS is where it is at.

We are a public access UNIX system, so it's not as much of a void as it might seem :D
