although if used in the right situation , its helpful , if its spammed , its kinda annoying and messes up the order of questions.
if you really don't know what i mean and need me to explain it , here
example of this used in the right situation :

OP : hello , what is 1 + 1?
#2 : hi , its 3
#3 : its 11
#4 : its a window
#5 : hello , according to my calculator , its 2. if you don't have any follow-up questions , please close the topic with that button.

example of this used in the right situation v2

OP : hello , what is 1 + 1?
#2 : hi , its 3
#3 : its 11
#4 : according to my calculator ,2
#5 : hello , if you don't have any follow-up questions , please close the topic with that button.

its kinda troublesome so… semi-support

Another spammed thing is:

This is spammy and not helping anyone

Bump.

Bump… can also just mean bump, you know

But yeah, this is not very constructive. Like others have said, you can just report a topic to be closed silently, so I support.

A moderator said here that answered topics should not be reported to be closed.

user wrote:

PLEASE KEEP ON TOPIC!

People saying to keep on topic isn't spam. It's keeping the forum tidy, trying to get rid of spam.

mcsquaggle wrote:

and a few more:

This is a dupe please keep the discussion in one place. this topic will be closed by the ST soon.

That's also not spam. It's once again trying to keep the forums tidy.

Please use constructive criticism.

I've never, ever seen anyone say that. Ever.

Support this is spammy also the only way to close a topic is to report it so its taken down, soooooo…..

I type this request in order to ask you to provide information regarding what you mean by “also the only way to close a topic is to report it so its taken down” via typing your elaboration and pressing the submit button. (Or in other words, could you elaborate on what you mean?)
By “taken down”, do you mean “closed”? There are actually two ways to close a topic, the button that appears for the creator 24 hours after the topic is made, and reporting it to be closed.

i dont get how saying

this topic is a duplicate

is spammy
its telling the user that their suggestion has been recommended before
but support, the if you think your question is answered stuff is spammy

It isn't. Some people would get angry when people say that.

First, remove the username. It's not nice to say people's names. Second, this is the reason I'm quitting the forums. The sentence isn't disrespectful or spammy, and you do not know if the user actually wants to close their topic. By saying this, people may realise they are able to close a topic.

Yeah, this is exactly why I'm leaving the forums. Most of the people in here don't actually know what to consider spammy. Most people here think forum post count matters, but it doesn't.

There are many posts that seem spammy too, not just that one. For example, there is not really a need to have more than one “this is rejected” post, or “this is a duplicate” post (unless there seems to be an older topic), or more. But how will the filter detect all the spammy posts? Because someone could say

and then

I do not think there is a way so instead of filtering it, it should be discouraged in stickies and by the Scratch Team, as that will generally be more likely to work. Since the filter will not be good at defending against these types of posts, some forumer might not encounter it, and countinue making these types of posts, even if a forumer does come across they might be confused, and continue, whereas if a Scratch Team member says “we try to discourage it”, they might stop.

Those posts are actually helpful. The ST actually benefit from not having to go and find a topic every time someone makes a duplicate. Unless you are talking about just “this is rejected” or “this is a dupe” with no quote or link. In that case, those shouldn't be posted.

I'd rather that detailed mini-mod posts are encouraged than mini-mod posts in general discouraged.

I am talking about “this is rejected” or “this is a duplicate” without any explanation, and more than one of those posts. There is no need for more than one.

I agree. I think your idea is better than mine.
