content: What about the Indian tech-spam, which is paid links to poorly plagiarized articles. What about Chinese image-spammers (...) I can hit the random button on Imgur too, that doesn't make it valuable content.  In this case we are just talking about /v/videos. Though, for some reason we have had a massive influx of pics/gifs being posted. Obviously they are being removed as they are not videos. A lot of the content getting posted is getting upvoats, but then we are also getting people reporting the same content as spam because its from a bot. I think the grey area we are running into here is a bit of a difference  of opinion on what quantifies as spam.  So this post is an effort to find out what the community thinks about it and how they would define it.  The ideal situation in my opinion would be a multi-tier set of "anti-spam mods"  I don't think we are really getting overwhelmed with dealing with spam right now. So the report spam button pretty much works the way your suggesting, at least for comments. As for the videos, I have to watch all the videos anyways, so I'll find them. Its more that we want to know what the community thinks about bots. What they think about the content the bots have been posting. Also how they want us to deal with the bots, if at all. Thank you so much for participating in this discussion!
