I usually delete them from our threads ...
Maybe you should too?

This is not a self-moderated thread. I cannot delete other's posts. Which, in regards to transparency and accountability, is preferred.
People can make any post, comment, and even critique or criticize without my ability to delete and squash their opinion from being read by others. Rather I must, and always will, field all posts it in a respectful, professional, and honest manner. True, I can report posts to the moderators just like anyone else can. However; out of respect for the moderators' time, I only reserve that for blatant spam and community members usually report those posts just as fast as I.
It has nothing to do with transparency and accountability ...
That comes with authority and responsibility. The issue of spamming, which these threads are now riddled with, i sthe issue. Those who wish to cause friction and blantantly flood the project thread with rubbish like this, all new bots now, are the ones that NEED to be removed as they waste your valuable time and everyone elses, making this thread (and any other) a virtual garbage tank in eventuality.
Your argument over transparency and accountability I have heard over and over again in the (almost) 6years of Crypto, and it is a false security to use when dealing with these imbeciles. It also shows that time wastage is of no real importance to them, as they only wish to keep their post count up and waste more of your valuable time and mine. Reporting them to the moderators IS the only thing you can do here in a BCT moderated scope, but again, your reasoning is almost moot (though respectful admittedly) as it is their JOB to do what you have so eloquently said you don't want to disturb them with. They wouldn't be called moderators otherwise mate.
I understand your point of view, and disagree with it emphatically. These posts and posters should NEVER have the right to spam (which I include these bot posts under) ANYONE'S thread when we are all here in discussion of the project and outcomes, among other things that pertain and are serious to, the project.
Other than that, I hope all is and stays well with you and the family mate.
