I mark email from someone spam over and over, and it can still get past Gmail. It's infuriating.

Create a custom filter in Gmail to delete it; let it bypass the inbox and go straight to trash.

(There's a "Filter messages like these" option somewhere)

Your fix is essentially "roll your own spam filter"
What's the other fix? Complain on Hacker News?

Yes, if something is bothering you enough - fix it on your own.

No. I'm just saying if there's an address you simply don't want to read mails from (for any reason), there's a way (among many ways) to do that.
I'm aware, but I would've thought that marking something as spam would stop more almost-identical messages from the exact same email address. Having to create a custom filter for all the individual spammers that make it through is frustrating.
