"Spam" is descriptive enough. Let's not re-advertise a spammed product in a meta post discussion.

| Jan 3, 2017 at 16:05 | comment | added | mpdonadio Mod | @Smalution If you downvote the post and flag it as spam, it may actually take longer for it to go away. When the vote count hits a certain point, it will disappear from the home page, and catch fewer flags, which means it will take longer to get autodeleted and may stay around until a moderator can handle the flag. | |

| Jan 2, 2017 at 11:16 | comment | added | avpaderno Mod | @mchar it is a bad idea to up-vote spam, since the permissions users have depends on their reputation. Would you want to make spammers reach a reputation of 50, so they can spam on meta, have new users restrictions removed, up-vote for spam posts, flag posts just to fill the flag queue, spam in chat, and comment everywhere? | |
| Dec 31, 2016 at 5:33 | comment | added | DRUPWAY | Thanks for your valuable suggestion. Suppose I use both down vote and spam flag for a spam question. Is not it make fast to delete that questions? Compare to using only spam flag. | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 15:42 | comment | added | mpdonadio Mod | Don't downvote spam. Just use the spam flag, and not another one. It may seem counterintuitive, but downvoting can make spam stay around longer in the system. The spam flag is also special. | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 13:40 | comment | added | mchar | Yes, but even if they are upvoted the outcome does not change, are end up deleted, right? | |
