RE: Hey Noobs! Don't be SPAM. VIDEO Lesson on how to earn good reputation points.
I liked your video very much. I read/saw it because @countrygirl resteemed it. I think you covered everything. There is one point I pointed out in a post I made about this subject that you didn't mention, and that is the bad English many people use in their comments. I am Dutch, so my English is not perfect, far from it, but I try and use help when I am confused about a word or a sentence. But a lot of people who write a comment use English that is sometimes so bad, you can hardly understand what they are saying. So I gave the tip to try and learn better English or write posts in their own language and build a community of native speakers. But I thank you very much for your post. Because of the humor you use, you were a great help to many and did not condemn in any way.
The fact is, I think there are a handful of non-native English speakers who have commented that I have marked as spam, when they were just trying their best.
Still, I think this video is beneficial for them as well. When I comment in Spanish, my Spanish is not that great, yet I still try to leave a decent comment, even if the grammar sucks. I know a lot of users are using the "google translator" app, and that's a decent go, but it's causing some problems. It often looks like spam. So I generally try to look for more than one indicator before I flag people, for that reason alone. I don't want to discourage a non-native English speaking noob before they get off the ground.
