PLEASE DON'T ENGAGE THE SPAMBOTS. Seriously, the number of obvious spam posts I see with (usually the same few) users underneath posting things like "No, fuck you and your sunglasses Kyle" or similar is 🤦‍♂️.

Guys, you're helping them. They feed off it, they note it as engagement, and they're more likely to continue posting. (Not just on devrant, but everywhere.) Just downvote / report as spam and move on.

    Downvoting was intended as primary regulation mechanism, but it's completely broken because if you actually downvote, devRant disables your downvote option so that your downvotes don't count.

    @Fast-Nop I think a change may have been made in that regard - if I downvote something as *spam* it now gets actually downvoted. I've lost my other DV privileges though.

    Bots don't care if you talk to them, post disappears on downvote, that's all.

    @AlmondSauce my downvotes still don't count. And it seems like my reports don't count either as the spam accounts just keep going strong.
