Sorry, but are topics NOT supposed to be made by newbies? I made one in economics with a question, but should I get rid of it? Or are they misc. questions made to look like spam?
Newbies can make threads and yours is fine, it's just copy and past spambots that are reposting threads from reddit that are causing trouble. Spambots very rarely reply to their own threads or others after they've posted them so it's a big giveaway.
They're spambots and they use bot software. They can create as many accounts and threads as they can. Just report them or post them in here.
Too much of this though and you might find yourself muted or temp ban. While reporting is healthy, inaccuracy could be a problem with the mods wasting time on your reports.
I would leave it to the mods to decide.
Who will get muted or temp banned? I don't think they're going to do this for people who are reporting valid things. If you're definitely reporting a spambot then you will probably get an accurate report. I usually report them as a reddit spambot and provide a link to the content they've copied. If I can't find any solid info but they're more than likely a bot I post in the spambot thread for a mod to check or keep an eye on.
