It seems like the path is streamlined once they know who you are.

This sort of feels like a generational thing but I would have flown over.

Like I have a list of a few hundred osm places websites that are clearly scam sites. I should be going one by one and filing them manually but I found this via a spam filter and it’s very robust. I should have a way of getting these scam sites reported to osm.

You could share it here and let more people remove the spam sites. If everybody removes a couple in no-time all will be removed.

Which is probably what might happen if you would have the option to "report them to osm". Someone should check things, because maybe you are a new person to them, maybe the spam filter might not be as robust as you might think, etc. Even if you are perfect, other submission might not be, so someone needs to check/review/etc.
