@John It gives feedback to smokedetector that the post was indeed spam, and we track that data in a database so we can update our detections to include better spam finding patterns
That said, you've got a higher burden of proof that you'll be sane than most folks do
(1) I haven't seen you around before, (2) you're not terribly active across the network (but I can overlook that, you have a few active accounts), and (3) this is not encouraging:
So... yeah. If you can explain what was happening there (giving you the benefit of the doubt here because c.mSE is the only place I can't see deleted chat messages), and promise not to generate items in my inbox about your behavior, I'd be fine with it.
I don't want privileges yet (don't get me wrong) but I was !!/blame-ing a hundred million times to see if SmokeDetector would blame himself (until someone proved that he wouldn't)
@undo are there statistics for time between being blacklisted and the next post of the user? We could use those statistics to measure the effectiveness of the blacklisted users over time
We have the post that caused the user to be put on the blacklist in the why reason, so we could use that to calculate it. Would give a hit on metasmoke however...
Without unit tests that verify the removal of the command, I wouldn't thrust trust it without a backup
