@double-beep Spam flags are meant for spam. When these are helpful they are used to automatically train the filter for spam. The correct flag would be "rude or abusive".
> To a quite large extent, spam and R/A flags are nearly identical. The primary difference is that an R/A flag prevents the post from becoming an audit in the review queues. However, there are some moderators who don't treat the flags identically, even though most of the guidance on Meta is that they should be treated the same.
yes actually I've seen a lot of posts by him as well, we share interests. I still simply typoed. I've taught modular arothmetic to professors of mathematics and engineers before, titles don't actually mean much to me.
@RoddyMacPhee It is generally not appropriate to single out particular users in public. If you have a problem with a user, either learn to live with it, or use flags to get in touch with the moderators.
You can, I think, even request a private chat with the mods---@quid might be able to shed light.
