| Dec 27, 2016 at 6:09 | comment | added | user310756 | @tripleeewell you're suggesting that the other mods tasks earn rep. So that's new to the question. | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 5:52 | comment | added | tripleee | Thanks. I posted an answer with the reputation suggestion, though I don't see how the "me too" comment would fit into that answer. | |

| Dec 27, 2016 at 5:44 | comment | added | user310756 | @tripleee maybe you could draft an answer with these points? | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 5:41 | comment | added | tripleee | As an aside, dishing out rep for high-accuracy spam flagging over a period of time would coincidentally solve this problem, and feel like The Right Thing to do for SE. | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 5:40 | comment | added | tripleee | I don't particularly mind the ads themselves, but the fact that they nudge the contents of the page down while loading it, sometimes just when I'm about to click the flag link (or the downvote arrow) really irks me. Could the page schema be set up to reserve space for the ad when it's going to be displayed so that the things we can click on stay put once they are there? | |

I don't know the history of which sites have had ads for how long, but we recently expanded the list so your chances of seeing them across the network have increased. | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 4:47 | comment | added | user310756 | @animuson have they only recently been put above individual posts, or have they always been there and I've not noticed? | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 4:46 | comment | added | user310756 | @animuson added noise and overhead to already busy minds, checking spam and abusive links for ads. It's actually distracting when looking at spam, as there's an ad right there. It confused me the first time it happened. Over a post. | |
| Dec 27, 2016 at 4:44 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | This sounds like it'd add a lot of overhead for calculating the privilege and only affect a percentage of users across the network so small that it can't even be represented in any reasonable number of significant figures. Do the ads really affect your use of the site in any way? As you admitted, all you're doing is stopping by to flag stuff. | |
