- Spam: obvious self-promotion, with no useful content or when irrelevant.

- Personal attacks: going after the person instead of the idea.

- Irrational hyperbole: very strong claims not backed up by logic or evidence.

- Bad faith: deliberate misreading, quote-mining, or straw-manning the OP.

- Hate hijacking: attempts at using this platform as an outlet for political propaganda.
