Is there a way to "ignore" or "block" the author short of reporting to Oscar?

I do the same - sometimes, if I have to supply an e-mail address, I create one for that specific purpose, so I know that, if I get spam on that address, where it comes from.
However, that's all irrelevant. It won't help against the (Korean) spam this forum recently has been flooded with. The only option is to report it to the moderator so it gets removed.

Oh. now I see
In that case, its obvious when a topic is spam, report it and go ahead. I don't think it takes too much effort and time. I don't bother with them too much

Well... I guess you did not see the spam this morning. There were more than 50 - so all you saw was spam and no bonsai related messages.
Fortunately, Oscar removed them quickly, but it is getting worse. This Korean spam is increasing in volume every day.

That really is a lot and I bet it was extremely annoying
