Simon,<br>
I know about the reporting option, have reported some myself.<br>
However as outlined on this diary entry <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/alexkemp/diary/172800"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/alexkemp/diary/172800</a><br>
there have been thousands in the last couple of days.<br>
Manually responding to so many, likely automatically generated,
post seems a very inefficient approach.<br>
It takes 3 clicks and some text typing to report one post.<br>

<p>It is obviously -not- necessary to report every single one when
there is a large influx of similar or same spam. Typically there
will be some common aspect of them that allows them to be mass
disabled, but that needs at least some time (and the admins need
to be available).</p>

Today I am on page 26 <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/diary?page=26" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/diary?page=26</a> and
still only SPAM.
I guess this was already noted but I could not find anything on
mailing list talk.
Who and how is this managed?

You report the user in question.

This has long been integrated (and announced), see above.
The point to realize is that there are many spam protections in place,
what you see on the diary pages are those that have managed to "slip"
through. Counter measures are limited though as there are certain areas
we don't want this to escalate in to and privacy concerns make using any
third party service difficult if not impossible (not that I would expect
any long term relieve from them to start with).
