It would be great if Twitter had a way of accepting community contributions to addressing their bot/troll/spam problem.

I see a lot more efforts like this coming from outside of Twitter than inside, and these kinds problems are rampant.

I was thinking the same sort of thing. I was also trying to see what sort of limits are on https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/accounts-and-users/mut... in order to automate reporting them. But at what point would they flag that account as a bot and block it?
