These sound like very positive changes! Would you consider going through past years and pre-emptively disqualifying people for their previous spam PRs as well? And is it obvious on the website to someone when they're disqualified? Or do they just not get a reward?

We don't have easily accessible data on previous years' contributions (we'd have to scrape GitHub again for it all), and I'm not sure disqualifying folks based on historical contributions would be overly fair as they didn't agree to that back then.

Disqualification was rule last year though, and those that were disqualified last year will still be disqualified this year. I'm not sure if there was any obvious messaging last year when someone was disqualified, other than not getting a reward, but this year will definitely show dedicated messaging for those users (working on this profile state as I write this).
