This is one one of those things that sounds nice in theory, but falls down in practice, because in reality the overlap between "spammy junk" and "contributions done purely to boost resume" is very close to 1:1. I'm sure there's the odd exception, but it's rare.
So in practice "judging the contribution" and "judging the contributor" are identical.
- nrabulinski 3y agoThey aren’t really. Even if the overlap was completely perfect and all spam contributions were the ones done to boost resume, you still shouldn’t judge the contributor for trying to boost their resume but judge the contribution by how useless and spammy it is.
