What are the bad impacts of comment spam on SEO?

[Suba]

Many blogs/sites provide comments columns for visitors, we will also always find comment columns on forum sites. But unfortunately we also often encounter spam comments such as comments that are not related to the main content (off topic), linking links or short links, posting the same comment on different posts, or comments that are too short, only 3 words. So as a blog/site owner or as a moderator of a forum site you must always check comment spam and immediately delete it. In your opinion, what are the bad impacts of comment spam on SEO?

Spamming could have a bad effect on the website. This is probably due to the fact that google does not like such kind of content. It is highly recommended to post rich content. This includes using the right kind of keywords. Spamming lacks this aspect. This is why it is considered a bad thing.

I agree with you, spamming will have a bad impact on the site/blog, besides Google really hates spam, spamming often slows down site loading, so we have to post rich content, also use the right keywords.

Google likes active sites that produce quality content on a consistent basis. Spam comments are not quality content, and they are evidence of neglect by the blog owner. This reduces the authority of the information that the blog provides, because there is no person behind it to keep it updated, and this leads to a diminished search engine rank.

Spamming has a bad impact on SEO. I think it will be deleted by Crhome management. Spamming is rampant even on a forum site. It is hard to eliminate but those spammy posts will be deleted too.

The website could have a list of blacklisted words like Nice article or Good thread because these comments need to be blocked before being sent into the article because they don't add any value.
