Incident
A spam account (nkleadproofficial-del) posted a garbage recruitment ad comment on PR #725. This is an open-source repo and these drive-by spam comments will keep happening.
Problem
Currently there is no automated moderation for comments on issues and PRs. Brady has to manually clean up spam comments, hide them, and block offending accounts. This is a recurring maintenance burden that scales with repo visibility.
Need
Automated way to detect and hide/delete spam comments and block repeat offenders:
- Detect spam comments based on signals: new account age, zero repo activity, spam content patterns
- Act on detected spam: minimize (hide) the comment automatically
- Prevent repeat offenders: leverage GitHub native interaction limits
