  • Abuse of the system or community is everything that is created with the intention to harm them. This includes posts by new users that contain no useful content at all – i.e. gibberish posts along the lines of:

    asdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasd

This "question" (it's really a statement) is helpful and accurate. Upvoted.

The bigger issue here is that the terminology that SE currently employs is confusing and ambiguous. A reasonable person could easily conclude that "asdasdasdasdasdasdasdasd" is very low quality and therefore select that option.

If you want to see change, the best option is likely for the moderators to ask SE to improve their UI to accommodate reasonable human behaviour instead of expecting people to change their behaviours based on a poorly designed UI.

This reminds me of a cockpit I redesigned. The aircraft manufacturer initially asked me to include a note to pilots regarding how to use a particular control system. After much effort, I was finally able to convince the manufacturer that it wasn't the pilots that needed to be retrained; it was the cockpit that needed be improved so it was obvious how to use all the controls.
