Community Guidelines/Spam Reporting?

Does anyone know whether it's appropriate to report a comment/user for spam? A studio I'm in (not curating) recently received a lot of spam slandering another user; I already checked the Community Guidelines, but they're disappointingly vague.
If you know anything, please help!

Yes, you should report comments/users for spam
Sorry, you have to wait 60 seconds between posts

Yes, you should report them for spamming and posting offsite links. However I would not recommend:
1. Mass reporting the comments. (This can cause your account to get suspended for a few days as they think your spamming)
2. Contact scratch team on this. They know the spam is a problem and probably get dozens of requests weekly about it, and honestly they probably get kind of tired of hearing about it 24/7.

And definitely DO NOT:
1. Tell other people to report (This is against the scratch community guidelines)
2. Try to agonize them, if you report and leave them alone, they will get bored and stop eventually.

I would recommend to report maybe 5, then wait a little bit and report some more. If this is a frequent problem you can close the studio comments till it boils over.
