Fun fact, I reported various account and post since I joined dev.to last week.

This morning I checked if you were using rel=no follow and I found you were using ugc, a tag I didn't know. So I googled it.

And now I find your post by sorting by top.

One question and few suggestions

What is a tag mod ? Does it mean once reported post are automatically removed ? Or is it about joining the team that moderate ?

Here I have few suggestions, did you consider using rules like these ones ?

  • the user posted something but was created less than a week ago => nofollow
  • the user posted less than 3-5 posts => no follow

Assuming that nofollow is more interesting for fighting spam than ugc
