    It doesn't really bother me very much. I just flag it and ignore it.

    If your "flags" are approved, you get points for that .. so it's not a bad deal actually.

    I don't want to discrimminate against spam. That would be spamism.

    I guess I have become accustomed to it, (or numb) because it just does not upset me like it did in the past. Name calling and belittling others do continue to upset me, though. For all of the above scenarios, I just report and move on.

    I'm used to it. I just flag it and move on. Or I don't flag it and move on. Depends on how ambitious I'm feeling.

    When you come across spam, just flag it as spam. Maybe they'll start eliminating some of it.

    What I find more annoying is the fact that there seem to be more and more people on here who are just here to start arguments. If you reply to a question, and it doesn't agree with theirs, all they want to do is resort to name calling.

    I always though AB was supposed to be a free exchange of ideas and opinions. Not to belittle people for not agreeing with you.

    As always with Answerbag, it takes little effort for me to adjust to its crap factor.

    No, not really. I wish I could change my poll choice to "No, not much", though.

    It seems to have gotten much less recently...at least where I hang out. Where do you hang out?
