TL;DR: Every day at 0200Z, it'll run through posts, find any where the feedback is conflicted but one type significantly outweighs the others, and take the majority verdict as truth.
At UTC 2:00 AM it will run a script every day which will invalidate all other feedbacks on posts where one feedback outweighs the other by at least 2 feedbacks
There was an answer to this question, saying (as far as I remember) something like:
This is only a test. Sorry guys! See you.
I have review the answer from the queue and flagged it to my understanding as a spam.
When I checked the result later, it turned out, that the question is indeed re...
@angussidney there is actually much of a difference, from what I've read, users get some sort of feedback after their post gets red-deleted, and the feedbacks for spam and R/A are different
Technically, if this post is elegible to recieve a red flag, then Rude/Abusive would have been more appropriate (due to abuse of the system/site). However, there isn't much of a difference between R/A and spam flags, and hence spam flags aren't usually declined on R/A posts. — angussidney54 secs ago
also, those are flagged as "rude or abusive" for a reason
I'm pretty sure a user will consider it an unfair treatment for their "test" to be deleted as e.g. "unsolicited advertising"
@EriktheOutgolfer no, they don't get notified. Unless the system has changed in the last month or so, the only difference is that spam flags allow the post to be used as a review audit, whereas R/A flags don't.
(maybe some differences in whether they train SpamRam or not?)
But otherwise they are the same - they act together to reach the 6-flag nuke threshold, the post content is still hidden when you view the deleted post, etc
It's... hard... to argue in favor of writing an algorithm and making a bot spend time calculating which of the two flag types to use when they are, in actuality, the exact same flag. It's not even Coke vs. Pepsi, it's Pepsi vs. a second bottle of Pepsi that's using a different but still valid Pepsi logo.
the only reason I can think of is avoiding robo-red-flagging (which, well, might need more than two flags), which is enough for a flag to get declined like that
Spam flags are (among) the "loudest" you can raise.
And this answer only qualifies for less of an alarm bell.
It is definitly NAA (not an answer) and worth flagging as such.
I think there are some StackOverflow users who would consider it "abuse" of the StackOverflow mechanisms and the sites id...
dun dun dun...
I wish this doesn't become "consensus", we're all guilty one way or another!
