Agreed. The spam is on the rise. It needs to be curtailed and actions have to be taken.
I've noticed that a lot of these "follow me and upvote me" kinda comments come from accounts that have very low reputation. 5, 0, really? How can one managed to have such a low reputation, considering everyone starts at 25?
Maybe a way of moderating such kind of spam comments would be to say that a minimum reputation of 25 is needed to comment on posts? That way, a lot of such spammers will be restricted.
As creating content, getting upvotes is the way to increasing reputation, most of the spam will not stick around to do so.
What do you think?
I’ve heard that accounts with rep scores below 25 May have their comments hidden, though not sure about that.
No surprise that such spammers have single digit rep scores, as they bring it upon themselves with such conduct. All it takes is a couple flags from a few dolphins or whales...
