Don't worry, I am not frustrated in the least, nor at risk of ever getting. I'm helping out with moderation of a single microscopic site with nearly zero traffic ever, both legit and spam. It's an interesting life experience nevertheless. I find Codidact's software surprisingly robust and feature ... (more) |

Thanks for all your support - I guess I'm currently fine and I understand that I could escalate a flag if the scale required it. (more) |

Interestingly, type C also has a variety that _doesn't even have to post_ within our network. It has been described [here](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/291921/291922#answer-291922). Somebody might say, this variety is no spammer, they don't post to pages anyone cares about. But it is still para... (more) |

The example account I asked this OP about started out as a combination of the D + B types. They received a formal warning specifically about those randomly placed hyperlinks; after receiving the warning, they immediately stopped to include the hyperlinks in their subsequent posts, becoming a pure ty...

All spam account types named so far have many common properties: no trace of any honest contribution to the site, lots of posts, receiving a steady stream of flags and downvotes without any genuine upvotes, an obvious commercial agenda, and a distinct "robotic" feel where they don't seem to truly rea...

Spam account type D keeps posting very low quality questions or answers that are nominally on topic, perhaps AI generated. All their promotional content within our site is their account name which is chosen to be the (relatively unknown but globally present) brand name they want to promote. (more) |

Spam account type C keeps posting very low quality questions or answers that are nominally on topic, perhaps AI generated. All their promotional content within our site (almost certainly complete with hyperlinks to the outside) is located in their account profile to which each their post, implicitly... (more) |

Spam account type B keeps posting very low quality questions or answers that are nominally on topic, perhaps AI generated, or lazily googled up or consist of generic, unhelpful frame challenges. The true purpose and payload of the disingenious posts are the HYPERLINKS that are blatantly promotional ... (more) |

Spam account type A keeps posting questions or answers whose text is blatantly promotional and off-topic for the site; if the posts contains hyperlinks, they are equally promotional and off topic for the site (but naturally placed within the promotional post itself). (more) |

This is a lot of good news for discoverability of current policy.
Re your last paragraph, I clearly need to explain what that "example account" of mine has been doing, because my Q + A posts here were aiming at certain aspects that I wanted to discuss only, while suppressing other aspects sufficie... (more) |

A: Where do the ToS draw the line regarding what a spam account is? The ToS address this only very broadly, very generically, and with a heavy reliance on the policies of individual communities and the judgment of their members and moderators. "Creating an account just to post spam" is somewhat hard to define, because this fact pattern depends on the creator's int... (more) |

| Question | — |
Where do the ToS draw the line regarding what a spam account is? The general policy on spam accounts with advertisements stored in their user profile (and no account activity) was already discussed here. I´m looking at an account whose current advertisement method within our network is literally their distinct account name only. To gain search engine atten... (more) |

As an extraordinary, one off measure, even a lot of the existing sites could be reverted to a beta status (after double checking with their respective communities).
Independently of the beta/non-beta classification (whose impact has not been spelt out in much detail - it's presumably mostly a co... (more) |

@mattbrent - Screen space isn't entirely free. Smaller screen, older eyes... suddenly there's just a thin slit left for the "payload" (the actual Q+A item list). Also, leaner UI tends to be more useable if you are new to it. Of course, this isn't to say that the cost of making the UI more compact w... (more) |

@sau226 - Perhaps 80% helpfulness and at least 2 flags in total? (Language & Linguistics has handled approximately 2 helpful flags over the first year of its existence in total, I think. Not counting flag testing.) I'm trying to hint that a more direct access at the settings might be easier to tai... (more) |

@Lundin, I'd expect the asker to start with Google Translate, web searches, and to only pull the heavy weight of asking in one of the Q&A forums mentioned in this thread only about the remaining bits that remain unexplained. There are numerous web sites specifically dedicated to collecting and discu... (more) |

*Some* questions about song lyrics could probe the potential of Language & Linguistics, regardless of the language of the song. But it probably won't work well if the motivation behind the question is a translation request, cultural studies, or something inherently artistic or musical. That is, if ... (more) |

I suppose that a debated "dangerous" mark could be rendered obsolete by editing the post to become sufficiently explicit on the contested subject matter. Readers then will be able to make their own conclusions. Reactions are pseudo-content and they should be used only when content itself can't carr... (more) |
