It goes to the community mods too yeah. But when it comes to spam/scams that is being posted, admins (at least on programming.dev) will remove it immediately and not wait for community moderators. Spammers will usually spam multiple communities at once and only admins have the capability of banning users entirely from the site/their instance.

A few days ago a person created multiple accounts and spammed scat content across multiple communities. Moderators can't effectively stop those kind of things.
