fp feedback received on [MS] Small dataset for Speaker Recognition
 
@metasmoke @ppwater why do you think it is naa?
 
Just thought because of this: "your article really helps me .."
 
@ppwater 1. the account name is the same as site name. 2. there's a link provided 3. any spammer can write "it really helped me" and any "cunning" spammer will do it. It is spam.
 
@VictorVosMottor Oh, okay. I'll remember that. thanks!
 
12:59 PM
;)
 
@ppwater Another advice: to understand whether is an answer/question with a link spam you need to see the website. Never follow unknown links. Use url2png site to create a screenshot of homepage ;)

@ppwater referring back through the chat thread, this one metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/274903
 
@ppwater In SE chat, you can click a small arrow on the right side of a message to "reply" to it. When you post in such a way, a little arrow will be on the left of your message. You can click that little arrow to hop to the message that user is replying to.
 
@Spevacus Oh, didn't know that. thanks for the information
 
No prob! I think it's an older style of chat threading but I'm really not sure of its origin... It took a bit of learning when I first saw it as well.

Do I have to mark TP when http://www.mldatasciences.com/
appears in the post? Like this https://metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/review/posts/159809
 
see the comments... I would mark them as TP and maybe suggest an edit
 
Okay. I will
 
Yeah that comment is pretty indicative of a trend from that user. You can mark as TP, but the post and the user are both gone.
 
2:19 PM
Yeah. I just realised that. (strange, it gives an red line on realised. Is the spelling wrong?)
 
Something that spammers will sometimes do is post a pretty decent answer, but shoe-in a spammy link at the end or constantly refer to their own website without providing disclosure.
2
If they happen to link to their site once and it's not just promoting their site, you can ask for them to provide some disclosure. If they just don't listen to you, a spam flag on such is typically marked helpful, though a mod flag would also be nice so you can explain to the mod that there's undisclosed affiliation.
Repeated undisclosed affiliation is an okay signal for you to spam-flag their posts to death, though. At that point, it's not at all in good faith.
 
Okay, thanks for the detailed explanation.
 
Oh, one last note. If you find some old spam that isn't super obvious, a mod flag is preferable, even if the spam spans across multiple answers/posts. Just explain how there's undisclosed affiliation/a trend of product promotion and link to all relevant posts (if you can fit 'em).

yesterday, by Thomas Ward
Over the next few days (Dec 6 - Dec 10) there may be intermittent blips in Metasmoke - both the system itself and the DNS records - while I do some internal system restructuring for IP addresses and forward/rDNS internally so I can ID things better on my network - including MS. Those outages should be sporadic and intermittent and not long-term.
