How to deal with spam magazines? (kbin.melroy.org)

I wanted to ask something about handling spam, but magazine sized, since I noticed things like https://kbin.melroy.org/m/gaming and https://kbin.melroy.org/m/berita12 that are closed and only seem to host spam links. Do you report all the posts, just hail the admins? Sorry if it's not the right place, couldn't find MbinSupport or something similar.

Reporting typically works best👍

@recursive_recursion @SharkAttak I've yet to get anything beyond a form letter from the abuse addresses I've reported spam to and the spam keeps coming uninterrupted. Blocking offending IP space is more effective.

users dont block incoming IPs for instances.

this is useless advice for op.
