Hmm, usually our akismet filter catches these:
But, fortunately, you can “post-process” them as spam by selecting in the UI and choosing “Mark as spam”. This will help train akismet as to them being spammy.
You might also want to implement a recaptcha to make it harder for robots to abuse though of course if the spammers are human that won’t help:
Sounds good, I thought I had recaptcha setup, turns out no!
