An account marked as "bot" on an instance made the same report 355 times between 2:18pm CET and 2:31pm CET.
The 355 reports included the same toot (a regular, non-spam, valid tool), for reason "other".
At the peak of the reporting wave, this bot account made 85 reports per minute.
It took me 50 minutes in the /admin/reports web interface to resolve each of them.
I've suspended that instance to prevent further DDoS death by bot fake reports.
