Spam comments from accounts on other pods

Hi,

I recently get many abuse reports about spam comments on my pod, which turn out to be generated from accounts on other pods. Is there any possibility to block those accounts?
And if such accounts are created on my pod, which flood the comment areas with spam, is it possible to delete them with just one click?

Thanks in advance

Just a guess - ’ adenholdinh@iviv.hu’ ?
For mass-deletion I use the diaspora_spam script:

SuperTux88/diaspora/blob/b503a7bc67f3fc3a14e80bf3ec1efc7ec63beb15/script/nerdpol.ch/diaspora_spam.rb#L4


      
          #!/usr/bin/env ruby
          
          # List of spam accounts
          spam_accounts = %w(spamacc@podA spamacc@podB spamacc@mypod)
          
          # Delete comments even if spammer isn't a local user or spam isn't on a
          # local users account.
          # And close accounts of users in spam_accounts that aren't local.
          always_delete = true
          
          # Keep empty (%w() or []) to retract spam comments from remote accounts
          # for all local users
          # retract_for = %w(userA userB)
          retract_for = []
