Is there a rule for not cleaning meta?

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I’ve sometimes seen low quality post on this section that are not locked or deleted, and as you will have realized we have recently seen a spamfest. It happened back in January onwards with people complaining about how unfair the merit system was and now with people opening threads to ask stupid questions.

But as this section is usually frequented by moderators and some threads are not trashed or deleted I’ve thought that maybe theymos wants to grant as much freedom of speech as possible and don’t want moderators to be too tough on the section.

See this thread, for example:

In my opinion it breaks rule one. Moderators may have not seen it yet, but see this one for example:

I think when the new rule start, the forum need an auto system to control comments. The manager team need to build standard rules. Maybe posts with less than 75 characters will not be deleted. So AI will follow the rules. It makes our forum better and easy control. What do you think about that? What is your solution?

So, he want AI to not delete short posts, like one-liners. Total nonsense. In my opinion it breaks rule number one as well. The post has been seen by Welsh, who I suppose could have locked it or deleted it, or, if not, at least he could have told some other staff to deal with it.

So, is there such a rule? Or are moderators waiting for people to report? I still cannot see the feedback on my reports but afaik at least once I reported a thread on meta and it was left unhandled.

Have you reported it? I just did, saying: "Insubstantial thread", and I expect it to be gone as soon as a Mod sees the report.

Or are moderators waiting for people to report?

Of course! Mods can't possibly read all posts/topics.
Meta doesn't have it's own dedicated Mod(s), that means only a few Global Moderators have to take care of this and many other boards.

I just did after seeing you reply. Both threads. I had some recent reports marked as bad and I am a bit unsure when reporting because as I cannot see the feedback, i don't know what I did wrong but that won't be a problem in the near future.

Don't worry about it, it literally says this on the report page:

Do not worry about your accuracy too much

Yes, I know, but I cannot help it.

Thanks! Locking it.
