[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword in answer, bad keyword in link text in answer, potentially bad asn for hostname in answer, potentially bad ns for domain in answer, potentially bad keyword in answer (171): When NOT to apply the Dependency Inversion Principle? by click on softwareengineering.SE
As far as I can tell, strapi.io is a legitimate documentation website. (Assuming I didn’t overlook something, and that it actually is legitimate), is there any way to whitelist it?
@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica Someone seems to have added the #whitelisted tag to it on Metasmoke, and I've just added the #notspam tag to it, as I see that that site is probably (almost surely) never going to be used for spam (and is also used quite a bit throughout SE). However that's not going to protect it from the reason it was caught in the most recent report that has it (link at the beginning of the body)
- The whitelist only really protects it from NS and ASN checks, which this already isn't caught by. I'd say this site will only ever really be caught for that, or similar, reasons, so it's no real cause for alarm.
There exists no list that would protect it from those reasons (to my knowledge) so if it becomes a much larger problem (generates a lot more FP and will never really be TP) then we would need to build something to protect it from being detected for whatever reasons it's being caught by.

@Spevacus I added the #whitelisted tag, but I'm not sure whether #notspam should also be added. Isn't the fact that it's not spam already covered by the whitelisted tag?
@double-beep No. The #whitelisted tag is for and does exactly what its description says; nothing more; nothing less. The tag is, unfortunately, inaccurately named, but the code for it in MS and SD currently depends on that name.
@tripleee The #whitelisted tag is the one special tag. It is dynamically read in by SD and used as a whitelist for the detections explicitly listed in the tag description.
@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica up to you of course; that's what I actually flagged it as before I noticed. But I would consider this vandalism on par with breaking existing posts or posting junk
@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica Posting a link to rick astley like that suggests it was not posted in good faith. Also, see the user's latest comment. I've custom flagged the answer as a troll.
A couple of earlier discussions with a bit more information on the #whitelist tag: 1, 2. Those two links are probably a bit to focused on my own messages. They are, however, the recent conversations I'm aware of about #whitelist.
@Ollie Does that do it? When I flag something as spam as a mod, will that auto-report it to MS, wait until the report is processed, and then go ahead and nuke it? I'm expecting not.
@cigien We don't appear to have a record of a second post promoting that specific video. Is there a post promoting the same channel, but a different video?
@SmokeDetector tpu- link to video spammed on electronics.se recently (different profiles). Same person who spammed the youtube link here metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/331325 Custom flagged.
