Hi everyone, my name is Angus. I've been noticing all the good work you guys have been doing with SmokeDetector. I was wondering if there was any way I could help out?
@angussidney There is not much to do most of the time, but if drop by this room between UTC 4:00 and UTC 12:00, you'll find some stuff to flag. Other than that, it's helpful to point out the (hopefully rare) undetected spam posts that you see "in the wild", so we can improve the detection.
