It wasn't hard to predict that we'd get a lot of "nice post" and other spammy comments with a linear reward curve. I know, linear means it's a line, and no longer a curve. But I digress.
Anyone who leaves spammy comments on my posts will get a flag. It's the best way to curtail the spam.
The "nice post" comments suck, but I'll probably just ignore those for the most part. It's when someone tries to con me into a follow with some sort of shady pick up line. That's crossing the line. We do have flags and there's no point in arguing so it's probably best to just use them, I agree.
Yeah, I agree. My comment on your post was unclear. Although "nice post" can be spammy, it's not something I'd flag unless they were commenting that on a whole bunch of posts that they clearly didn't read. Even then, I'd probably comment something like "you should stop spamming posts, otherwise you're going to get flagged."
The types of comments I'd flag are the exact ones you talk about in your post.
I actually received one of these comments here in this post. "Thanks for sharing." I looked. Literally hours of the same comment over and over. They clearly did not read this post. I didn't flag, but we've both been here a long time, and we're familiar with the culture. A culture many take pride in and I believe it needs to be maintained.
