I'm Sick Of It -- And A Proposal...
who make minimal posts to bump up their post count.
It's not that the posts are "bad" per se -- but, over on the copywriting forum I see a lot of posts that are 2 -3 lines of advice (requested by the OP) that sometimes seem like they are simply copy and pasted from (or even spun!) from pieces of other posts.
So, it's hard to really say the posts are "spam" -- but I don't really get the feeling that some of these folks are really trying to participate in WF.
Proposal:
Well -- this may or may not work as a metric -- but it would be an interesting thing to investigate.
But what if you (Allen/admins) the average length of posts and compare the length to posters known for providing high quality content.
It could be something displayed in the post profile -- average post length (in words/lines.) At least then it would give some indication. And people who frequently make posts of 2-3 lines ONLY could be caught up in some sort of "you're really a spammer in disguise" sweep.
And if said spammers lengthen their posts to try and get around this limitation--the posts will either make sense or they won't. In which case we can have another reason for reporting posts: gibberish.
Okay...I've put on my asbestos suit -- let the flames begin!
