Do you red-rep for spamming?

[Dave]

I don't if it's a n00b. If it is then I try and point them in the right direction of the rules and such or try and tell them how they could do the same post a little but better. I feel differently if they have been around for a while or have a decent post count or rep though because they should know a little bit better IMO.

So do you red-rep for spamming?

 

[Slyfox696]

I only red rep for idiocy, usually. As I'm sure you're now aware.

 

[Dave]

All to well Sly, all too well. I deserved it though.

 

[Murfish]

I red rep when I'm spreading or when I feel like doing it.

 

[Dave]

I green rep when I am spreading. Do you actively seek out bad posts to red-rep?

 

[Murfish]

No.

 

[Dave]

They seek you out huh?

 

[Murfish]

If I see a post that deserves red rep, that post will get red rep.

I just infract for spam

 

[Dave]

Don't you think sometimes that it would make more sense or be more productive to just direct them towards the rules, rather than giving out infractions to people? Or, indeed trying to make them a better poster.

 

[Lee]

There will be two warnings before an infraction, a warning is to say HEY IDIOT WE HAVE FUCKING RULES, READ THEM! If they don't get it after two warnings, they deserve an infraction.

 

[Dave]

Okay, so if you weren't a mod would you:

a) Report that person for spamming,
b) Red rep the person,
c) point them towards the rules,
d) Do nothing,

??

 

[Lee]

depends, if it annoys me no end I still red rep them, but why should I point them towards the rules? That's a mods job, as I am a mod, I do that, if I wasn't, I wouldn't.

 

[Mr. TM]

I report.

The mods have the authority to judge spam, not I.

 

[Lee]

No way, TM reports

 

[BooCocky]

Yeah.. I would never ever and I mean never report a post

 

[Coco]

I report sometimes. I've been getting into red repping more and more though as it seems to be the only thing that really pisses people off.

Unfortunately, I sometimes green rep accidently.

I don't see the point. I don't need an angry PM from a noob. I don't think it accomplishes anything either. I typically send them a PM on how to improve.

 

[NSL]

I can definitely tell you weren't here for the long argument between myself and Sly...

Yes...I red rep for spam...No matter how long they've been here...

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Yeah.. I would never ever and I mean never report a post

i've only ever reported 1 post.

It was one where 48.7 compared me to Charles Manson for my taste in music.

 

[48.7 is Approximately 49 Times Better Than You]

You reported that?

 

[X]

That is so weak Milenko. So...weak.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

You reported that?

Yeah, I was having a really bad day.

That is so weak Milenko. So...weak.

How so?
