How is saying "inb4lock" or "What are we discussing?" trying to help?You're confusing two different things together. Saying "inb4" is spam and offers no contribution to the discussion. This also includes:
-OP is X
-0/10
-nou
-TL;DR
-Simply quoting any of the above statements with nothing else is contributing to spam.
-Or any variations of the above posts
I personally report every one of these posts along with a few other handfuls of users I have discussed this exact topic with. Those are all spam posts, they contribute nothing. If a user doesn't have anything to add to a conversation, why post at all?
Now, when a user posts "what are we discussing here?", obviously the person is asking a question simply because the OP designed a poorly thought out thread and it's actually difficult to understand what they're suppose to be discussing. By posting this, you're acknowledging that it's unclear what the specific topic is and giving the OP a second chance at explaining their claim.
Should forum copping be bannable?
-If the person is using logical thought in their post with evidence and making sure they dot their "I's" and cross their "T's" (by staying in the forum rules), no they shouldn't be banned. After all they aren't breaking any rules.
