How do you usually handle suspicious or spammy comments?

[syi0808]

Hi! I recently noticed that some comments, like this one, were marked as spam:

#10345 (comment)

I was curious how often this kind of comment spam happens in Vitest, and how maintainers usually decide whether a comment should be treated as spam.

I’m asking because I had a similar experience in one of my own repositories. A comment looked helpful at first, and I almost continued engaging with it, but after checking the account and the pattern of replies, it started to look like spam.

That experience led me to build a small tool called GET OUT SPAM:

https://github.com/Maintainer-Ally/get-out-spam

The goal is to help maintainers notice suspicious comments earlier by looking at risk signals such as repeated comment patterns, unusual account activity, and similar behavior across repositories.

If comment spam is something you run into from time to time, I’d really appreciate any feedback on whether this kind of tool could be useful, what signals would actually matter to maintainers, or what would make this approach more practical.
