Instead of these features I want them to stop spam issues on my repos. All the issues I've gotten in the last year on my project are completely nonsensical. It's not even spam it's just like random URLs or complete nonsense from freshly created accounts that aren't trying to sell anything or just the issue template. And every time it costs me 2 clicks to click on "report" then I have to type "spam", click the spam category, then I have to type "it's spammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" to hit the 15 character report description requirement, then I have to solve a captcha. All this despite the fact that I've had a GitHub account for like a decade and I've filed like 30+ spam reports, none of which were frivolous.

I opened GitHub after typing this comment and there it was, a notification from an obvious bot account opening an issues that's just 5 meaningless Korean letters with no description.

It might be worth trying the moderation tools that prevent interactions from accounts less than 24 hours old. Docs here https://docs.github.com/en/communities/moderating-comments-a...

I share your frustration with this, and in my experience a lot of noise comes from these types of accounts.
