You’re just redefining shill as “spammer” but that term is likewise nebulous and undefinable. Am I a spammer because I’ve made the same post more than once? Is u/syrian not a spammer because he’s never posted the same thing twice? We need a community solution, we need to make this garden inhospitable to the seeds of shilling, NOT depend on an omniscient gardener
Is it not obvious what my argument here is? If the mods are going to have quick triggers, non-“spammers” are going to get banned, and if the mods have a “3 strikes and you’re out” policy then the shills get two free shill posts before they have to change accounts.
Neither of these actually foster discussion any better than what we have now (self discernment)
