Does this mean one can get away with spamming the community?
- Oct 29, 2020
HotCakeX Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it on to the rest of our team and we will take it under consideration. Appreciate it!
HotCakeX We judge spam based on context and judgment from our team. Obviously in your hypothetical example (I hope it's hypothetical!) that would be spam. If your post is content-free - i.e. no additional context - then yes, it could be spam.
The difference would be if someone posts:
"@HotCakeX"
vs.
"@HotCakeX - I know you have a special expertise around this element of Edge, do you have any insight on this question?"
The first example seems off-topic/spam.
The latter might be spam if they posted this in every single thread - and I'm sure would be off-topic for most of them - but one time posting this (the 2nd version) seems fine to me assuming no additional context.
Sorry for any confusion! If you have suggestions on how to handle this or document this better, feel free to let us know.
