consideration style for spam nodes

as you can see, there have been many spam nodes reaped recently without mentioning the word "spam" within the consideration.

click and hit search to see

Please, in order to facilitate the update of the spam filter from time to time, it'll be nice if you could all try to write something like "Reap: spam" or so.š

The update is done manually, use of SuperSearch helps a lot here! :)

Also, don't put the word "spam" in a consideration if it isn't really spam. (In the eyes of somebody wanting to reap a node, many things appear to look like "spam", IME.) - tye	[reply]

Please, do you have examples demonstrating your point? There was much discussion if stupid spam (no links no message) is still spam. I'd say any automatically generated junk which should be blocked should be marked. If not "spam" then "junk", though I don't see the difference in blocking practice ... update Of course "dupe" or "duplicates" are not spam... But the only other category I can think of is manually generated stuff. (nonsense or off topic) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :)}	[reply]

Of course "dupe" or "duplicates" are not spam... Don't be duped into thinking that the abbreviation for "duplicate" is not "dup" but the whole word "dupe" (which already has another meaning). q-: Yes, I've come to realize that there really is a lot of stupid, pointless stuff that is being posted by spammers. But I recall considerations for single nodes posted by real users marked as "spam" (surely because the considerer was sick of hearing of the topic and so it felt like spam to them). Best to mark stupid, pointless stuff suspected of being posted by a spammer as "spam probe"? - tye	[reply]
