Don't really know what the right way to call it is, but someone/some bot is spamming this post everywhere, even in the comments sections:

EDIT: it even spammed in this comment section

Beyond the admin just deleting the account. There's the progressively more nuclear option of blocking that IP address and blocking that entire ISP from posting. There are sites that do that to control spam.

What about dynamic ip addresses, then?

The only time I've had to block a group of IP addresses, it was multiple addresses in that block performing the same behavior, so any overreach was just time saved.
