First of all, thanks mods for your work. I know spam sucks and ain't easy.

I'm new to this lemmy thing, but there seem to be a few bots out there that may be able to help or ban spammers.

Could we maybe look into that and automatically suspend/ban posts that link to amazon? That would seen to put an obstical in this kickback scam going on.

Just an idea.

Those amazon link accounts are annoying. I've blocked every single one and more always pops up.

Report 'em too, if you're not already! It helps the mods and the admin team find them so that site-wide bans can be issued.
