Adapt Definition of Spam Posts

I've been noticing more and more recently that people are posting questions about a bot where there is really only one answer. It's not an opinion question; it's essentially a "Yes or no" question.

Right now, it's not really a reportable offense to "second" somebody's statement. In some cases, seconding is very helpful. In the case where someone is stating an opinion, seconding is essential to support your argument. However, consider this situation:


Topic: Should I buy Perfect Agility or AutoAgility Pro?
Person 1: Perfect Agility is the same script as AutoAgility Pro, but it costs less. Buy Perfect.
Person 2: Yeah Perfect is the same script.
Person 3: Yep. Same script.
Person 4: (Quoting person 1) This.

These people seconded, thirded, and fourthed a blatant fact, without adding any help. Should this be made a reportable offense?


Note: Credit to Classics for this idea. The above script was more or less from his own post.

 

Agreed. I report people for the same thing.

 

There was a sticky for bot questions, but it wasn't used except for spamming so I removed it. If there's a demand I can put it back.

 

This would make supporting suggestions more difficult, but yeah definitly a change thats needed.

Its not only for bot questions, it happens everywhere.

 

Well, anyone who posted the exact same answer again can be reported. And you can also report the thread asking for it to be closed if the question is answered.

 

Next time I will message a mod to have it closed, is this case I just posted asking people to stop posting

 

Just report the thread and say it needs to be locked, please.

 

So this can be locked, then (since Angelmax answered the question, and now anything else is responding to an answered post)? Or is there more input from staff? I'd like to hear what everyone has to say, unless Angelmax's word is the general consensus.

 

agree, sometimes annoying
