Have you experienced issues due to TL0 spammers?

My experience is that the auto-detection from Discourse, as well as Akismet, are almost flawless. I have basically 0 false positives.  
Those who still post are quickly flagged, and their messages are hidden by the community, so it’s quite a non-issue.

Might be otherwise in other communities, of course.
