Reporting something as spam on YouTube works exactly the same as reporting something as spam on BNet. And when a comment is reported, it keeps all of its likes despite being minimized by default to everybody viewing the comments.
The thing you just describes works exactly like BNet.
Wanna have another go?
No, no it does not work in the same way. When you report something on Bungie.net it goes through a system where a moderator has to view it to be the final judge, would you mind explaining how this is similar to Youtube's way of getting rid of spam which is pretty much, "if the community decides it is spam then the community must be right" and it gets rid of the comment.
Yes it keeps all of its likes, but it's dropped from the top comments (if it was there) and begins to fade away into the pages if it wasn't already deleted.Be that as it may, the punitive repercussions of spamming on BNet are greater than doing the same on YouTube.
While Titles and Prefixes aren't big deals, people risk losing them if they do things like that. And, if it's excessive, blatant, and disruptive enough, they can be prevented from participating in the Forums for a certain amount of time (AKA a ban). YouTube does not have anything like this. People can spam all they want and not have any inhibitions because they know nothing will happen to them or their ability to post comments and use YouTube.
You have no way of knowing how people are going to respond when they either know from the get-go or know via public examples that spamming for or spamming the use of the "like" feature could, quite probably, earn them a timeout from posting.
And don't use your soda analogy again because it isn't relative to the situation and I don't care to explain why.
