I use Rubbish, I think a lot of South Africans do also it is kinda a word that Afrikaans has adopted from English. It is a nice word to use for people because there is no doubt what you mean and describes them either in appearance or as a person. Versatile.

That is the correct word you need to consider when getting flack for "spam" - context. I know you comment as you think, like you just read something but wanna say something so say "Hi" , in text that reads bland and urrrgh but I think when you typed it then there is a lot more and it is a greeting. Does that make sense? Now imagine others come they read it and they see similar and more often, text does not show a smile or a wave it just says "Hi." Now you have money involved and maybe these are new users so they all give you a little, neglible right, on hive at least since less than 2cents is dust but take it on uptrennd there every vote matters. So I would say "Hi" with the consideration that you are on a monetary platform is good for people you know. They know what is behind the "spam" but alas again I am yammering on about things that don't matter. As I said if it does not affect me then it is not my concern, I guess it does not mean I don't have thoughts on it.
