Please stop posting repetitive comments to Hacker News. At this point you're spamming and that's totally not ok.

Is it considered spam because of its substance or because it's repeated verbatim?

E.g. if I take the same exact comment but paraphrase it every time I post it, would that be ok?

The reason I ask is because I see a few accounts post the same tired criticism of bitcoin over and over and see no reprisal for spam.

I would be interested in understanding what the objective rule here is, since I checked the guidelines and could not find references to comment spam definition.

Thanks.

Paraphrasing the same thing would not be ok either. People are here for conversation, not repetition.
