Is there documentation about which of these might/will lead to accound
termination? I use off-topic/offtopic freely to clear unproductive
clutter out of bugs (including sometimes my own comments) but I don't
intend any negative karma toward the commenter.

If they persist then "abusive" and "spam" are more appropriate and I do
believe both of those add negativity.

If "off-topic" is a harmful tag can we have a more neutral one such as
"clutter" which will auto-hide the comment without any negative
associations with the poster? I'm thinking especially of times when
people paste testcases or log output directly in comments that make the
bug hard to read but aren't wrong, per se. I guess I can use "obsolete"
but that's not quite right most of the time.
