Yes, it's mild, but it's a) part of a pattern of constant posting of "what he said"/"I agree"/"makes popcorn"/somesuch nonsense by C--K and b) bumped a thread that hadn't been posted in for 7 hours, which is pretty much dead in General terms.

For example, searching Posts by this User, on the first page of results:

Don't posts have to contain more than whatever +1 ?

And yes, I know it seems petty: but I figure if they're simply told that they're spamming mildly, the thing'll resolve itself.

NOT A MOD.

I believe that if the "Hear Hear" and the "What he said" is actionable then that would also include the "QFT", "I Agree with...", "What he/she said" and other such posts that pretty much say they agree or go along with whomever would also be actionable. and that would take up what ever free time the mods have left as more and more people report such things.

I would say, ignore it, it seems no one is responding to the spam and the agreement is just the poster showing support

Again, this is my non moddish opinion.

Lazy posting? Yes. Spam? No.
