Moz Spam score keeps increasing?

I've never posted my personal blog to any sheisty websites or link lists before, but my Moz spam score is now up to 6%. When I click to see what's linking to me, there are kinds of bogus websites that seem to have latched on to my domain, referencing various articles I wrote.

Most of them look to be NOFOLLOW, but I would like to get rid of these from factoring into my PA/DA scores. Is there any way I can improve this?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Brutal!

Just a quick question, does PA/DA score pay your bills? If not, just ignore them. The main search engines, especially Google know to ignore them for years. Just read this recent topic [webmasterworld.com] about Google ditching 40 billion spam pages a day.

Pay no attention to moz scores. I've grabbed 500 million "moz" values for domains (PA/DA/spam score) and essentially have a snapshot of what they're offering on a domain level.

Unless you're selling things where people pay attention to these numbers, they mean nothing.

welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], Brutal!

this recent discussion about PA/DA as seen by Google may be informative:
"No effect on Google Search": Bots, DA & PA. per John Mueller [webmasterworld.com]
tl/dr:
It's possible that I have said this before, but PA & DA have absolutely no effect on Google search. Zero effect.
