Sitebanned Spambots

Just noticed there's a sitebanned spambot spamming in Prison now. Is there anything you guys are able to do to limit it, or does that usually happen?

Spambots are normally sitebanned with a prison ban as opposed to normal users who still need their prison access to appeal. 9 pointed spambots however just get a normal siteban and can still spam prison.

As Spear mentioned, this user was sitebanned by a Mod via 9pointing, this only temp bans a user from the site (automatically giving them Prison access) until an Admin comes along and bans them completely (also from Prison). If that happens again, drop a wee note on the spam thread in feedback and an Admin will get to it.
