Q: Please don't edit obvious spam posts just to make it suitable to the site

Spam posts usually occur on SE sites and main site is not an exception. Such posts should be flagged as spam and they do get flagged. However, what I have been noticing is that sometimes, they get edited and stick for long times on the site. This has happened in the early days of public beta, an...

@tripleee Yes, it does. Or it can. Duplicates are useful since they act as signposts helping users find the right answer.

@AJ Oh, I don't argue that it wasn't spam. However, once the link had been removed, it could have been a useful duplicate.

I am just asking if there is any benefit in deleting the post if it is no longer spam.

NVZ

12:01

Some spammers intentionally write useful duplicates. O_o

tripleee

@terdon I know why we keep duplicates, but if it's essentially a duplicate of an existing signpost (or a very unlikely way to phrase the problem) and it's going to be deleted in a few weeks anyway, the end result will be the same and it's somewhat unlikely as a signpost in the meantime anyway

@tripleee Well, it wasn't an unlikely way at all, that's why I asked. But you still haven't answered the question: is there any benefit to deleting it? It's an honest question, there may very well be some benefit, I just can't see it.

Also, why would it have been deleted? Dupes aren't deleted as far as I know.

@terdon Dupes are not deleted. However, the spammers got a backlink, didn't they? In the revision history, which is accessible to all.

Backlink

A backlink for a given web resource is a link from some other website (the referrer) to that web resource (the referent). A web resource may be (for example) a website, web page, or web directory. A backlink is a reference comparable to a citation. The quantity, quality, and relevance of backlinks for a web page are among the factors that search engines like Google evaluate in order to estimate how important the page is. PageRank calculates the score for each web page based on how all the web pages are connected among themselves, and is one of the variables that Google Search uses to determine...

@JohnDvorak the actual value to the actual instigator of the spam is probably near zero (because noindex nofollow etc) but in the spam economy, they might end up paying the middleman because they can present proof that the link is live

@terdon @AJ The Roomba does delete duplicate questions, if they meet the requirements for ether the 30-day or 365-day Roomba. Closed-as-duplicate only prevents the question from being deleted by the Roomba which deletes questions > 9 days after closure.

terdon

@Makyen Are you sure? The meta posts I'm looking at don't make that clear.

I really, really hope that's not the case. And it doesn't make much sense, anyway. The whole point of dupes is to keep them around as signposts.

"perfectly good sign post" is a rare sight, at least on SO

Makyen

@terdon I'm certain. The criteria on the 365-day Roomba that the question won't be deleted if it "has view count <= the age of the question in days times 1.5" is, in part, intended to keep questions which are reasonably effective signposts.

terdon

Yeah, the view count makes that less destructive, true.
