Typical Spammerisms

[Steamtyme]

~snip~ Sorry bro but I gotta make posts.

No one is forcing you too. Except yourself apparently.

Speaking of spammerisms: Look at this guy's post history...

I mean;  language barrier... maybe... but...

What have his posts really added to most topics?  They seem....   unintelligible....  and all of his comments seem to rotate around the thread topic, and not other peoples responses.  His comment in Phil's thread about the new threadripper made me want to look into him.

Should I be flagging these sorts of posts/people?

Should I be flagging these sorts of posts/people?

Flagging via the flag system? Abso-fucking-lutely not.

Flagging as in reporting either privately or publicly via a thread/forum post/PM to a moderator? Absolutely.

The issue with the altcoin sections is that over 99% of posts on them are spam.

I can attest to this because I have literally reported entire consecutive pages and actually increased my reporting accuracy from 97% to 99%.

This was over a sample size of about 1800 reports.

sorry;  poor choice in words....

reporting should have been the word.....


I guess i should just use "serial spam nonsense comments, nothing useful submitted by this user" in the report reason field?

I am pretty sure that account is using either a crappy bot to formulate a response, or is just forming an answer or blind comment based on the context of the subject field only.


I am considering making a few posts with incorrect topics; and have the discussion be 100% about a different thing (but still relevant to the section).... Just to try and pick out these types of posters....  Maybe a moderator might think about doing this themselves.

Who would you recommend I pm about people like this?    I think the "report this post" link posts it to the section moderator;  which in this type of instance the poster needs to be reviewed;  not the post.. so im wondering if that type of report will go to the right place if you understand my thinking.

Here is my one and only report button (modification of suchmoon's BCT report script)

Code:

button_container.appendChild(create_button(post_container, "0 value", "Generic, vague, padded, and/or irrelevant post. Brings no new information. Zero value.", null, true));

It covers 99.9% of reportable posts. When you need to bring attention to the user itself, I would say to report a few posts of theirs with the comment "This user is spamming. Check their post history here: _______"
