Is there a way to flag a spammy user account that has only contributed to Documentation?

I read both Flag user profile and Why aren't user accounts that only post spam auto deleted?, even though relating to flagging a user's profile/account, they do not address my quest: how to Flag spammy user accounts (so as to draw moderators' attention).

Being confronted to an unprecedented situation while performing reviews today on StackOverflow Documentation: Proposed Changes, I was looking for a way to possibly flag specific user accounts that were flooding documentations with spammy contents; all my daily reviews were all about rejecting these numerous spams.

In such a situation, where a given user account is solely used for flooding documentations with spam edit, updates and newly created contents; what can one do so as to draw moderators' attention and or possibly trigger an automatic (whether temporal or definite) restriction so as to save reviewers' time for more productive interventions?

Is there any current mechanisms in place for such a control, user account sanctioned after a given number of flagged posts by other users as well as a possible removal of subsequent available suggested edits and or posts submitted by that given user?

If none of the above features are not available as it seems to be; I hope they will be considered!

Imagine a situation were such accounts are not kept in check, it may get to a time were things will get out of hands: [all] reviewers spending several days cleaning gross spammy contents that could have been prevented in the interest of worthier inputs.
