When a downvoted article is "deleted" you get double karma back... I usually pay extra close attention to articles that are downvoted, so will get it back and then some 9 out of 10 times.  Might be interesting to give a karma zap on upvotes if an article is removed and remove the ability to upvote if negative karma.

Downvoting and adding a comment as to why it was downvoted can help to understand why it was downvoted... either spam, low quality, off topic etc.  This is especially true in the case of Video posts, where I'm less inclined to sit through the videos, I usually scan through a video and if I don't see a code editor and/or it's obviously OT, then I lean into removing it.

Note: I also try to also upvote said comments before deleting a spammy article, I don't always remember to do so.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for making that clearer! but still, if we don't have that many active mods spam posts might not even get deleted.

I was on vacation this past week, so wasn't active, but generally do a sweep at *least* once a day of all new posts... on busier days, I tend to concentrate on those that look spammy by title, have comments or are downvoted...

If you don't want to downvote a comment is usually the best option for getting attention.  While it's not as quick/active as it could be, there are usually not *that* many new posts each day.

And, no, I don't always delete downvoted posts... which is again why even if downvoting, a comment helps understanding why it was downvoted.
