“Abuse” or just misguided

Just got this to review. I think it’s just a misguided use of a submission, but definitely don’t want to encourage people to submit complete nonsense. Would you report it as abuse or just reject?

They seem to be indicating that they know it’s wrong to submit this.
I would be tempted to assume that they were new and didn’t know how things worked if they hadn’t specifically said what they did.
If they were testing how things worked, they would be better off submitting something that they thought might actually be eligible. I’d say misguided and somewhat abuse too.

Oh I didn’t see the very bottom when I first replied. I would definitely mark this as abuse. You don’t just “test” and tell reviewers not to accept.

Also I would report this to help chat.

I would absolutely mark this as abuse. Wayfarer does not exist for the lolz of trolls. This is trolling.
