[14:14:59] <requerdanos> editors, when deleting spam/advertisements from the story submissions queue, what message is usually used as the delete message, if any?
[14:18:11] <janrinok> None at all - why waste bandwidth telling a company that we do not want their spam? They don't care. I don't think we have to either. I am happy if someone wants to introduce a formal procedure.
[14:19:19] <requerdanos> Asking for my personal/professional development - I was going to delete a couple and just wanted to follow the correct procedure.
[14:19:54] <janrinok> np - it wasn't aimed at you in particular.
[14:22:14] <janrinok> From my point of view, the deletion message is useful if it helps to improve the submitter's subsequent attempts or helps explain why a perfectly good submission might be rejected (Dupe etc) In those cases I try to give the recipient any useful advice that I can.
[14:24:53] <requerdanos> Thanks.
[14:25:26] <janrinok> Apologies if my first response was a bit brusque - I am battling on several fronts at the moment. Sorry.
[14:26:31] <requerdanos> No, didn't seem that way to me, no need to apologize; thanks for the prompt response

[21:57:12] <requerdanos> the bot systemd would be warmly welcomed here. I don't know how to invite it properly other than to mention how welcome it would be.
