You guys seem to be stuck in a philosophical battle across many, many threads. What about limiting responses across the *same* threads to the *same* spammers? Otherwise you become spammy too, and people possibly mute you already :(

Direct repetitive responses to a spammer are definitely not necessary: Spammer - Alert - Spammer - (stop here, don't response; add a facepalm reaction possibly).

> add a facepalm reaction Or kind 1985 event; these don't annoy humans with notifications either, I guess.
