Strange. The question I manually reported must have looked like this at first:

(formatting is ugly, I copied that from the summary of the question list site)
There is no edit in the revisions, so I assume it has been posted as more or less valid Q and then edited within the grace period.
@Ferrybig You know how Smokey reacts if the 1st version of a post is valid and then there's an edit by the author within the grace period that makes it spammy?
Seems like that could be why it did not catch the one I reported manually.

[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword in body, bad keyword in title, link at end of body, pattern-matching website in body: Hydratone Skin Serum by user106009 on security.stackexchange.com…
It seems to be the heading of a legal motion, which is often written in caps because lawyers. It hardly makes sense as a question and I expect it to be edited into spam, if anything.
@JeffreyBosboom I am not sure really, but VLQ also does the job at cleaning the post (By putting them in the low quality queue), it's usually better to use them at the other sites because those don't always follow the main meta
@SmokeDetector k
There are 3 posts left to review at metasmoke that I am unsure of how to mark them
If a garbage post has some sort of meaning and should be deleted, then use VLQ or NAA, if the post is meaningless because its just garbage, then its abusive
> So pick the flag that speaks to you. I'm partial to "rude or abusive", because enough of them immediately delete and lock the post, which is handy in those rare scenarios where someone's flooding the site with a lot of these... But VLQ or NAA work just as well in the vast majority of cases. The important thing to remember here is that when the post clearly means nothing, you shouldn't be wasting too much thought trying to decipher it; flag it and move on with your life.
@Ferrybig It's a valid answer, just low usefulness. No flags are appropriate, maybe a downvote. I hated to waste an edit on that, but edited as I read it to see if there was something to it (there wasn't).
@Undo Hello, the SmokeDetector said I should ping you here if I want to know more about that thing. So, uh, what does he actually do and is he tunable to report only specific sites' posts into specific chatrooms?
It reports posts that match various regexes (or more complex processing too, I think) and blacklisted users (generally due to past spam). Yes, it's site-for-room tunable.
Indeed, as are the considerate users in this (and possibly other) rooms. I'd wager it would be hard to find enough site regulars to even flag-delete a spam post in 2 hours, let alone minutes. And apparently this year we're suddenly starting to get the good stuff on a daily basis.
Reports of posts that live longer than five minutes get escalated to Tavern on the Meta for more eyeballs, so that would be the other room. (SO posts go to the SOCVR room. I don't know what other rooms are active.)
@Ferrybig "marks the message as spam and blacklists the user" - I assume only bot-internally? You still have to flag it properly (and possibly destroy the user), right?
@NapoleonWilson Yes, it marks it only for the bot, the blacklist is also bot internal.
@SmokeDetector f
^ That was not offensive, but someone's style for writing, the answer is valid for the question, we don't rude/spam flag those, so its marked as f (false positive)
The best way if something should be f or k is if you would red flag it
@ByteCommander Unfortunately, an edit within grace period does not generate a new "activity" for Smokey to detect. There is nothing we can do when spammers use this tactic, short of maybe checking some already-checked posts again when fetching via the API.
@JeffreyBosboom Titles of new questions are scanned immediately, since they are provided by a websocket. The queue delay applies only to body of posts.
@jokerdino If you really want it... but destroying users doesn't add much of a SpamRam penalty (just spam-flagging the post into deletion should be enough).
> .. moderators now don't need to spam-flag something to add extra weight, destroying the account alone will deal a blocking weight in the system. Likewise, if the community spam-flag deletes something, it's an instant blocking weight.
@jokerdino Nothing wrong, for sure. But it's a question of where to put the limited amount of effort. Money.SE mods used to destroy every account identified by Smokey (who reports in their chatroom). This didn't make a difference for how much spam the site got, so they eventually got tired of clicking those extra buttons.
@jokerdino Usually, if a post is detected by smokey for "blacklisted website", it means it is/was real spam, and we needed to add the website itself to the blacklist
There is a chat bot called Smoke Detector, active on several other SE sites, that automatically checks for potentially low-quality posts and writes chat messages to notify people about them. These messages can be posted to a dedicated chat room, as for Mathematics SE, or to the main site chat, as...
