We have a lot of spam daily and moderators needs to mark user as spammer manually. It would be nice to have a configurable set of rules that automatically marks users as a spammer when there are met.

Describe the solution you'd like
I can handle this in PR.
However, before I create a PR, I need to know whether the solution I am proposing is a good one and the PR is likely to be accepted. @imorland

A detailed description of your proposed solution.
Something similar to configuring Cloudflare rules.
Admin can add many independent rulesets. When admin ads a rule, it can have multiple checks:

• post has links from specific domain
• post contains specific text
• user has post count less than n
• user account is younger than n hours
• user IP is x
• etc...

There are 3 fields for each rule.

• type: post content, user post count, user IP address, etc.
• operator: contains, starts with, does not starts with, matches regex, less than, more than, equals, etc.
• value

Bug Report

The admin settings page is showing up as empty with "This extension has no settings." and "This extension has no permissions." despite the extension having both. The permission for marking users as spammer does appear in the permissions configuration.

Perhaps this is a compatibility issue with PHP 8.2. We don't have this issue with any other extensions. Have tried clearing cache, running migrate, publishing assets, etc. multiple times.

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As far as I can tell, in order to be able to check new registrations against the StopForumSpam database, you currently have to send that sign-up information to a server and check. This poses a privacy issue and makes it a non-workable solution for our community (discuss.grapheneos.org).

Describe the solution you'd like

Would it be possible for the checks to be done in an offline manner where the database is downloaded and checked against instead of sending information to an online service?

Describe alternatives you've considered

The current way we do things is by banning specific keywords that are commonly used by spam accounts and manually getting rid of them, but being able to benefit from the database would be a tremendous help to our community.

Feature Request

We don't give most moderators access to permanent deletion since it's unnecessary and can result in mistakes that cannot be undone. Our moderators do make mistakes, and it's common to need to undo a ban. The same thing is going to apply to use of the spammer action. Anti-spam currently always provides these permanent deletion options. Our moderators find it confusing and we'll have to tell each one not to enable the options, which is a lot harder than just explaining to use the spammer action. This seems like an oversight since there's meant to be a permission for this and it can be bypassed through this extension.
