Australia - Submissions identified with DS

The above is a common feature of a submitter in the South coast of NSW, tagging all their portals with DS. Despite many in the community reporting they've 1* this for abuse or personal information, some of these portals have appeared valid in the system.
Is there anything we can do to stop this other than mark abuse?

Here are some other examples:
Keep reporting them as abuse/personal info.
Have seen it come up a couple of times on OPR, have rejected them too. Do we know who the agent is? Have they been communicated with to stop adding their initials?
Yes they are a player called createnewportal
They had a netball court come through early so we knew who was tagging them with D.S.. I have sent a message in comms, very politely but was ignored.
Its a shame cause they have some great portals that are only getting rejected cause of the tag :(
C'mon, have some imagination - we are playing a game about AGENTS! Put in a common-word phrase like "highly intriguing" or something :)
subterfuge, centrifuge, cherry fudge
delectably intriguing
"delectably intriguing for wanderers"
I'm shocked that createnewportal wasn't taken.
Have you raised the issue with Remy?
Is this agent active in game play?
Given the agent name I'm wondering if it might be someone Using a second account to get more submissions and adding the tag so they know to up vote their own submissions?
Maybe even have several accounts in the shadows doing OPR automatically and the tag is so their bot knows which ones to up vote?
@azazzlenic I saw the title and knew exactly who you were talking about.
i reject each time based on rationale that submitter can be identified, and leave a comment explaining why.
Could be an account people hire to submit a portal, and the formatting on the description accidentally includes those characters.
How do I raise the issue with Remy?/who is Remy?
