@metasmoke Sigh, yes, I didn't test with the prior fix in the master branch, which is what's required for that test to run. Admittedly, I should have changed it anyway when I did a search for monkeypatch. A fix should be done in CI shortly.
@SmokeDetector tpu- This is pretty much identical to other spam answers posted at the same time, and user is likely the same person. User account is deleted on the site.

@SmokeDetector Link-only, but all the other answers are barely any better. Account is fairly old although still at 1 reputation. For now, probably legitimate.
That's a nice feature request actually, attach an optional 'why' field to red-flags.
The other day I had an RA flag. Post was fine, username wasn't.
Now, this was an easy one since 1 user flagged as RA and 1 user raised a mod-flag over it. But sometimes less so and I imagine an SO mod has a lot less time per flag than I do.
If community flags on CR stay on too long, I tend to step in. But since we're on 3 VTC instead of 5 that's less likely to happen.
There was a bit of a void when Sam and I got elected, since we used to clear the queues. Rest of the community had to adjust to us not doing that as often.
I step into queues every now and then, especially suggested edits.
But even if SO were paying me to handle flags full-time, I still couldn't empty them. Too many.
I've been mostly handling post flags. Including a number of plagiarism cases.
And someone's gotta decline all those invalid NAA/VLQ flags :-p
If there were fewer post flags, I'd also chase down the reviewers who voted to recommend deletion on them...
Not enough time, though :-p
Voting to close (as a non-mod) is more satisfying from the close queue, because those tend to actually get closed as a result of the fact that the queue prioritizes items with review votes on them.
@Spevacus np. The post, at the time it was flagged, did fit what we have as a use case for spam/R/A flags, so that seemed like the reasonable thing to do. :;
@SmokeDetector f The link is to another Stack Overflow question. The only thing remotely advertorial is the username, but the user has acceptable contributions on SO.
@Mast :61244352 Agreed. I won't say who, but over on AU, there is at least one fairly high-rep user (over 1k) that uses a company name for a username, and still has great contributions and no spam. AFAIK, it is a fine username and I agree that the SO contributions make me feel it is legit. Just wanted to report it to get more eyes on it, but the comments on their Meta Q should probobly be removed to avoid annoying the OP, and more discussion on that can happen here
Typically allspam is when you're for-sure reporting someone who's not yet had any of their currently-undeleted posts in MS yet. Otherwise, it's probably best to manually report each of their posts.
Mainly just to ensure you don't double-report them.
It's not the end of the world but it's not necessary is all
@cocomac I don't think it is spam, at least that MSE post isn't. Their 'answer' on SO might be spam but that is only mod-deleted, not red-flag deleted. I posted an answer for now and pinged Dharman to follow up if needed /cc @Mast
