I’m on a discourse site that looks like it’s being hosted by discourse

```bash
dig community.taiga.io | grep taiga
; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> community.taiga.io
;community.taiga.io. IN	A
community.taiga.io.	3939	IN	CNAME	taiga.hosted-by-discourse.com.
taiga.hosted-by-discourse.com. 232 IN	A	184.104.178.43

```

Each spam message normally has a reference to a call centre and almost always has a reference to whatsapp.

What strategies can be used to stop the spam?
