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"?
