Your opinion on the lowest spam?

"Low" "Lower" "Lowest" spam is similar to "First!" spam but 3 times worse.
The person just posts a comment giving no advice or opinions on the project but just saying "Low", then another replying to it saying "Lower", then another saying "Lowest" and is really annoying spam clogging up the comments.

Even if the project owner does not mind it its still a problem for people trying to view the comments.

Normally it only lasts for three comments but some people take it further:

People seem to do this just to get a low comment thinking they will be thought of as cool or something and as an excuse to get their comment count up, but it just makes them look like a spammer.

What is your opinion on it? How seriously do you think it and spam in general be taken?

Re: Your opinion on the lowest spam?

I think it would be ok to do lower lowest stuff only as a joke and he somehow contributes to the project. For example, I am ok with "Lowest! Cool project" that is ok in my opinion. but if they keep doing that with tons of comments, I would do something.  smile

I see it at-least 1 every like 10 projects I look at.
I only picked the one in the image as an example because it was on the game I was playing when I was thinking about this.
Also I think the account that posted it is inactive now so it will not be insulted.

I postively despise it. When I got featured, I put in the project notes that people who did that would be deleted, and then I got trolled.  hmm

It's ok unless there is too much on a project.
