New type of spam bugzilla entries

Recently we seem to have new types of SPAM entries in Bugzilla. Instead of adding the SPAM message directly they look
more like real bug reports / comments with some context / relation to httpd or even the specific bug (maybe AI generated) but then
contain SPAM links.

Examples:

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68452
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66465#c4

Should we handle all bug reports / comments that contain SPAM links the same independent if the SPAM is the only content of the
message or if the SPAM is delivered with something that somehow fits into context?

Regards

Rüdiger

I think trash the comment and ban the user as if it was pure spam comment.
