Rules against communities that spam links? (self.lemmyworld)

Are there any rules on Lemmy.World about communities where the only poster is someone spam posting inflammatory links? It's easy enough to block those communities, but I imagine this is going to be off-putting for some new users not acclimated to the federated style of Lemmy.

Also if rules are being broken by community moderators then the only people that can moderate a moderator is an admin and I'm not sure there are enough to find all of this.

I think the main problem is how do you report communities or posts to admins rather than community moderators whom may be the ones breaking rules? You can freely make infinite communities so they become unmoderateable just by doing so.

Reports get sent to both the community mods, and your local admins. If that's not effective, then you could always just send a private message to the admins of the instance hosting the community.
