from the documentation there is a way to ban a user from the site, but only admins have access to it, might be worth trying to coordinate with them to ban them

This is definitely something that will require bots.

i kinda figured it would require some sort of verification process so we are not banning people for little reason (a record system of bans from communities on the system, via a ticket or rep sheet) and maybe a script to ban if banned from x number of comms, or after it has been reviewed by an admin. though right this minute might be unrealistic implementing this in the near future

Spammers are testing out and feeling the water temps here... If a spammer so blatantly obvious like this person is testing out is allowed to continue (lets give it 5 chances, 10 chances?), they will hone strategies to take advantage for the bots to follow.
Idea: Maybe we need a special spam report category called "very blatant obvious spammer" to really get attention. Someone that repeatedly blasts out the same post to greater than some X number of communities could easily be flagged by a bot for being categorized this category, yes?
