I left an explanation as to why I flagged so people didn't think it was arbitrary. Notice that everyone I flagged left a single line response with no thought, no explanation and added nothing to the conversation.
Since you've proven you're not a spam bot, I'm removing my flag and apologizing for the trouble.
It's your choice to unflag me if you prefer people explain why they flag or not. Personally I prefer to know.
@pompe72 It's not that complicated. If the post looks like there is no thought put into it. If it contributes nothing to the conversation, then flag it and explain why.
Good people will get the message and elaborate. Good bot builders will build better bots. It doesn't matter at all the source of a comment, bots are thoughts from people who have decided to take the effort to put those thoughts into a machine. You'll never be able to tell a really good bot from a human.
FYI @pompe72 check your intro post. Also I'm about 70% certain you are a bot as well :) As long as the thoughts conveyed add something to the conversation then to my mind it's not an issue at all.
Flagged you for being a spambot
That might look like a bot reply but this post asked simple question and i gave simple answer. No need to make hasty conclusions.
Flagged you for being flaggingbot.
You also spammed same thing into several comments and that is spamming.
