Notes from the coalface: Gaza fundraiser spam account in action. Hundreds of posts over a short time period, minimally spaced out to avoid bsky rate limits. These were auto-reported, resulting in an obvious outlying account in the Ozone moderation DB.

All 10 observed in this wave are added to the service's Soft_Deleted block-list - if account owners regain control after a possible hack, they can appeal. Now I have rate limiting logic working (long story), it will be possible to implement detection for this type of thing as a new report type.

Most legit accounts won't - a human physically can't - send a new post every 1/3 of a second or so, and if they are legit bots, they will get different handling.
