There is a whole pattern of blog/forum spam which involves spending about two minutes googling up something that looks like a relevant link and posting something that seems on topic along with the spam link. It seems in retrospect with the followup comments to not be the case, but it sure smells like that nonetheless. | |

| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:59 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | @AJ seems to be unrelated, the same happened on his other answer and there's no deletion history on it. I'm am perplexed but will keep an eye out for it in future. | |
| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:54 | comment | added | A J | @Mokubai No. I am not worried about a single declined flag. I was just curious when you said about a possible bug where flag downvote is not immediately recalculated. | |
| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:53 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | @AJ Looking at the history the post had been deleted by its owner when I declined the flag, but I do not remember seeing it having been deleted when I did so as I was going back and forth between posts and the history at the time. A single declined flag isn't a massive problem though and there isn't anything that can be done to alter a flag after it has been declined or accepted. | |
| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:48 | comment | added | iBug | Can you dispute the flag as the post was deleted before it went to a good state where the flags could be retracted? | |

| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:40 | comment | added | A J | If you remember, was the post deleted when flag was declined? | |
| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:38 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | Strangely the downvote on his other post was removed upon my checking the up/down ratio. Perhaps there is a bug where the flag downvote is not immediately recalculated... | |
| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:37 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | Spam flag downvotes should be removed immediately upon flag rejection. I'm certain this is the behaviour I have seen so far. I cannot clearly remember the votes I saw but I'm sure that it was still at -3 until a few moments ago. | |
| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:36 | comment | added | A J | One more thing. I guess I couldn't have retracted my flag since the post was deleted and I don't have privileges to see deleted posts. | |
| Feb 19, 2018 at 12:30 | comment | added | A J | Those downvotes are actually from spam flags. They're not retracted when flag gets declined, do they? | |
