There's current 5 obvious spam posts with phishing links sitting in New. 3 of them 20 hours old. All have been reported for spam and yet they're still up.
But this post, https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/12hReTPB3B , which had some unsavory comments was gone within a few hours of it being posted. Truly curious
I'd think it would be safer, and possibly even easier, to make a whitelist of approved sites. It would prevent them from trying to make new links to circumvent any bans.
Unfortunately, like you asked, I don't even know if that's something they can do.
