May 12, 2015 at 5:01 comment added Dave Jon, OK you are right! I no longer see the spam message, I see what I would expect now so yes, all resolved. Thank you
May 11, 2015 at 23:44 comment added Journeyman Geek Mod I'd actually gotten a spammer to guilt delete before. If you you can master that level of snark, they are never coming back. If they self delete excessively, they're going to hit a robo-suspension anyway
May 11, 2015 at 21:15 comment added Jon Ericson Staff @Dave: Do you still see the message on mobile? Now that the spam flag has been invalidated, it shouldn't show up at all. I think the difference is that the notice is a lot bigger relative to the rest of the page on mobile. (To be honest, I've never seen the notice at all, so it might not exist on the full page.)
May 11, 2015 at 19:18 comment added Dave I think I have to disagree, unless I missunderstood which is very likely :) I tested my post between the desktop version and mobile version. The desktop was fine, the issue was only on the mobile site
May 11, 2015 at 18:40 comment added Jon Ericson Staff @Mokubai: We talked about that internally and this is our main concern. We're going to look into it further, but I don't think most actual spammers would hit on this strategy. Also: xkcd.com/810
May 11, 2015 at 18:30 comment added Mokubai Mod But then what would happen if we manage to guilt a real spammer into deleting their own post, which I'm sure we've managed before... Surely the spam flag should be validated in that case?
