Browsing models by latest update looks like the attached image at the moment - an endless flood of spam posts by spam accounts making it very difficult to actually see what is new.

Is there a way to report spam accounts other than to report each individual model, and until this problem is fixed is there a way to exclude terms in the search box e.g. omit results with the word “free” or “gift” in the title?

Hi, thank you for your feedback.

We are aware of increased spam recently; we have been removing thousands of users and we’re continuously working on improving our detection system, cc @allendorf.

This is a problem we’re taking very seriously and we hope to substantially reduce spam in the next weeks.

I found a bunch of spam accounts / repositories by looking at the recently updated list: [Models - Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?sort=modified&search=album)

All of these users have repositories called “album” with spam links.
