BHW should auto block some newly-created accounts spamming garbage (triggered by characters, numbers, etc)

I agree broadly, but blocking terms like "interested" or "message me" would also block a lot of legitimate Marketplace buyers.

Also consider that it's trivial for a bot to make an innocent first, fifth, or fifteenth post, just enough to get out of the queue and immediately post their spam. Any blind keyword filtering turns into whack-a-mole.

I think the AI detector, once it's more mature, would be a better fit for modqueueing the slop, since it's pattern-based rather than keyword-based.

I've already reported this guy 4 times today. Only today. This week it must be like 10-15 reports. And during the night, when all mods are off, this shit controls the forum for hours.

Wouldn't it be easier if BHW automatically blocks some posts created by newly-created accounts? Trigger it based on some patterns.

Examples:
If someone with zero posts/comments mention words like ''message'', ''passive income'', ''zero effort'', ''interested'', ''and terms like that = post is automatically rejected and the account can't post anything without mod approval.

If someone with zero posts/comments uses those characters: @ (because of telegram), $ (because of money, promising unrealistic garbage), or a phone number = post is automatically rejected and the account can't post anything without mod approval.

If someone with zero posts/comments uses words like ''telegram'', ''whatsapp'' and its variations (t.e.l.e.g.r.a.m, tele.gram, te_le_gr_am_, ask an AI to generate all this garbage and it will provide endless ways to write it) = post is automatically rejected and the account can't post anything without mod approval.

And obviously
This guy is using the same telegram account, because he is a lazy 60 IQ scammer trying to convince stupid newbies to install malware on their computers.
Block this damn phone number. Block this telegram username.

@nisaka1423 = SCAM
Fully block this. Anyone mentioning this telegram username = post/comment pending for approval, not automatically public

Please, create a block list or something like that, just add some patterns and block this garbage. Add this Telegram username, this phone number and the new ones this scammer creates. I hope it's feasible/possible to do.
