He's been here just a little too long for me to be able to kick him.

Not "spam" but they're not very helpful. They just post nonsense and think it's an answer.

@nick — we’re going to hold off on this one for now. I get the sense they might be new to the community and still finding their footing, possibly navigating some language or cultural barriers. It seems like they’re trying to be genuinely helpful.

Let’s keep an eye on things, but in the meantime, if you feel up for it, a little guidance could help them better understand what it takes to be helpful here. No pressure at all — I just think a bit of patience might help them get there.

@krisrodriguez Yeah I mentioned it as something to monitor, not punish.

@nick, sounds good, I'm glad we see it similarly. Please let me know if anything else comes up with him.

This one hasn't come up for me yet, but I'm guessing it fall squarely under "spam".

This is an unabashed for sale ad; I've made a community vote for it as spam. Is there an official policy on for sale ads? If so I'd like to quote it to the user before I simply moderate it out of existence as spam; this seems like a first-timer mistake rather than a deliberate effort at spamming a group.

@dadibrokeit, I think your instincts are correct on this one. I went ahead and banned them. Thanks for catching this!

@vauweh, they do have some suspicious comments, but I'm wondering if it might be a language barrier? I saw that one of their comments was definitely spam. Should we keep an eye on them for now, before we go for the full ban?

by

@krisrodriguez Yes - that's how we do it.

@vauweh, I don't understand what you're asking, but, it does look like the user was "testing" different features. It's possible that it might be a test for spam, so for now, I'll go ahead and remove them and see if they reach out.
