RE: Killing transparencybot - A message to spammers with no SP!

who decides what qualifies as "spam". You call the information he provides as "spam" based on whose definition of spam ? I mean, what prevents you from calling my comment "spam" for instance ? It's your content and I'm giving an unsolicited comment here ... so by one theory at least I am spamming as you were spamming cardboard and initially booster's post as well ... Just to understand who decides what is spam ...

Sort:  

The owner of the original post determines what is spam in their comments.
Little late to the party with this comment btw....only by like 2 months.
The owner of the bot has since created an "opt-out" version and I know longer give a fuck since he is no longer spamming my content.

That's because I didn't care about "the party". I'm sorry for the platform because the controversy surely hasn't helped. But the question about what is spam and who decides what is spam I find an interesting one. Someone's spam is someone else's free speech and freedom of expression. A government could accuse the media revealing a corruption scandal as "spamming" .... or not ?

Every single individual....defines spam...as it is to them.
It's not rocket science.
