I completely agree with the information provided @darkterminal. Spamming on small issues is not only unethical but also harmful to the open-source community and its reputation. It is crucial to contribute to open-source projects with genuine and valuable contributions, such as bug fixes, feature implementations, documentation improvements, or meaningful discussions.

Spamming issues only disrupt the workflow of maintainers and developers, creating unnecessary noise and wasting valuable resources. Open-source communities thrive on collaboration, respect, and meaningful contributions, and it's important to uphold these principles.

Let's all strive to contribute positively to open-source projects and foster a healthy and supportive environment for developers worldwide.

SPAM Small Issues: It's hurt me a lot... as an open-source activist and repository maintainer.

⚠️ W A R N I N G ⚠️
As a repository maintainer, I personally feel that I am being treated unfairly and cheated because collecting green boxes on GitHub Profile is an honor and achievement for what we have given to technology and the future we want and not to show off and become a prestige battle and attract companies to can give us a job.

If the glowing green box on our GitHub Profile is the result of fraud and a prestige ploy, then that is a big lie to me.
