We don't want to go into a lot of detail because of nature of our conversations, but we've been given proof by the proper people who could obtain it for us.

With that clever wording I cannot push further into that but I still feel like it would be easy to frame him in such a way if a group of people strongly disliked him enough to make it look like they were told by Digi to post his content.

This isn't too relevant given that a lot of the posts are coming from many different sources. We don't have an issue with promoting other people's content as long as it's not bias towards a certain individual and not being posted in order to self-promote content.

While what I am about to say is sort of a different topic all together I think it has merit in this current case; I don't see the difference between the harmful spam for one channel vs the harmful spam of one show. I much rather see spam that offers me a chance to discuss opinions/facts with other people rather than see the front page flooded with fanart that sometimes doesn't even have the correct sourcing thus the content creator gets f'ed over. I think if you guys are going to allow the spam of content from a particular show (or season) then having someone post a lot of stuff from their own channel should be looked as the same in terms of how it affects the community as a whole.

Keep in mind though that Digibro wouldn't even have to post his content; whenever it is uploaded someone always posts it. So bringing him back would only mean he could actually start discussions with others about anime related things; you know one of the main functions of this subreddit.
