It could be a method assigning spam score based on the numbers the post contains; we have one for service number spam. But too big of a project, I guess.
@SmokeDetector k this is a spammer, @Undo -- based on the combination of two answers. Same structure, both link to apowersoft (known for spam), with SEO-minded link text.
Support number had a few false positives lately, because of text buried deep in the post. In actual spam it would be repeated ad nauseam from the beginning to end.
So it seems restricting it with ^.{0,200} would not miss the true positives.
I recently enabled link at end of question for AU, but so far this reason is not reported to AU room. Waiting to get some false positives so that the sites can be whitelisted here. So far, all 5 hits were true positives.
I don't know what kind of sites AU questions normally link to, maybe ubuntu.com
@Undo Apart from the fact that I keep breaking things, none. The latest pull doesn't work, though I think that's because of another issue caused by strange formatting in a post.
Also because I can't pull to the live server, which does mean I have to remember to ping you.
Ok so go ahead and do it! You may find this task easier to accomplish if you actually chose one language, not two. Otherwise it'll take you twice as long... — Lightness Races in Orbit1 min ago
