| Jan 17, 2014 at 14:52 | comment | added | Braiam | @Sathya Tim don't think so: you should definitely not flag something as spam that is not a blatant advertisement or purely nonsensical trolling attempt of some sort. | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 12:29 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | @Braiam err.. no, that should never be the case. If there's something offense, use the offensive flag. If trolling probably use the custom mod flag. Spam is strictly for spammers. | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 12:17 | comment | added | Braiam | @Sathya SPAM flags are also used against trolls... | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 5:52 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | @gparyani because it isn't an unsolicited advertisement. It's not the right answer, but it's not spam either. Spam flags are reserved for strictly unsolicited, or out of scope posts or blatant ads. The other answer isn't one. Use downvotes for such. | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 5:03 | comment | added | gparyani | What about my second comment? Why is the fourth answer not an unsolicited advertisement? Seems like one to me, but my spam flag is listed as "declined - a moderator reviewed your flag, but found no evidence to support it" in my flag history. Why is that? | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 5:01 | comment | added | gparyani | I mean, I'm not asking for protection. I'm just asking if it is a good idea. | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 4:59 | comment | added | gparyani | @Sathya As I said in the last comment, the question seems to target spam, but the 3 deleted answers are just considered one since they were posted by the same author for protection by Community. | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 4:58 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | there's no need to protect right now. If required, question will get auto-protected. it was random spam from one user trying to spam. | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 4:57 | comment | added | gparyani | @nhinkle Do you think the question should be protected? I mean, I know that each user is only considered once for the 3 deleted answers from new users criteria for being protected by Community. | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 4:52 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | @gparyani there is an internal spam monitoring system that may restrict contributions from certain IPs, but it cannot be manually activated by moderators. We aren't able to provide any public details about the system, to prevent spammers gaming it. | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 4:33 | comment | added | gparyani | One more question: Should the question be protected too? | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 4:32 | comment | added | gparyani | And why is the fourth answer not an unsolicited advertisement? | |
| Jan 17, 2014 at 4:31 | comment | added | gparyani | I've read somewhere in the help center a while ago that IPs are blocked in some cases. Are such blocks no longer implemented? | |
