Academia - Obviously insincere posts – how should users/reviewers react?

  • If you are sure, flag as abusive (it’s abusing our site) and move on. Do not downvote. Do not engage. Six abusive flags will automatically delete the post and impose some bans on the poster. These flags will also alert the moderators (having highest priority). Under most circumstances this is the fastest way to get rid of the post.

  • If you only suspect, flag for moderator attention. Flag for closure or deletion as appropriate.
