I'm not sure why spam should be treated any differently than conversational indecency (personal attacks, bad faith arguing); in theory it could all fall under the bucket of "this doesn't belong here", right?
- tremon 6y agoTo me the difference is "this user doesn't belong here, go away" versus "this post doesn't belong here, try harder".
- Sohcahtoa82 6y agoPersonally, I flag for blatant rule violations such as comments that are filled with personal attacks or spam. I will downvote comments that are simply low quality, like comments that merely say "^ This!". I don't usually downvote bad faith arguing because it's hard to prove when someone is arguing in bad faith versus just simply having bad arguments.
- type0 6y ago> when someone is arguing in bad faith versus just simply having bad arguments. Sometimes the person just misinterprets the conversation, especially if not being a native english speaker, but the responses could get overly harsh and that's a pity because I'd like to see more international discussions here.
