@VictorVosMottor That post is not matched, because regexes on the watchlist are bookended with \b, as noted on the Commands page. The transition between a space and an @ symbol is not a word boundary, so it doesn't match that. The search I linked demonstrates what it would match.
you could do something like deckon(?<=@deckon) as a workaround, which does match that post
Unfortunately, the comment from metasmoke on GitHub is fairly misleading, because it doesn't apply the bookending when it searches. The link in the comment does, but it also only searches post bodies.

What makes something spam and when should I flag it?
A post should be marked as spam only if it advertises a product, service, or similar and is unsolicited or lack...
I saw that one, it was suspicious. I agree it's worth watching, but not clearly spam. I'd vote NAA without any additional proof it was not in good faith.
I don't think it was hard spam (he has a couple of decent Wordpress questions) but if you'd mod flagged I would have deleted it so it would fall into TPU
@Spevacus If it were on WP.SE or Webmasters I would say it's FP (where mods there are far less likely to sustain a simple "here's my website [link]" flag)
While we're on the topic of things that might be spam, is this spam? metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/269908 It's different than the other spam for that very spammy domain.
@RyanM the first half seems a decent attempt to answer the question (though I haven't checked to see if it's copy/pasted from an existing answer); I would say "FP" to edit out the "recommendations" link
I looked around some and I noticed the guy who posted most of the links to Sprinkle has posted that spam elsewhere (same answer on SO minus the spam link)
@VictorVosMottor That pattern looks like it's already caught by Blacklisted website in answer and Blacklisted website in body; append -force if you really want to do that.
@Makyen By the way, this new format is noticeably slower; the regex engine in MS search really doesn't seem to like alternation. In my copy, I've replaced the const searchTerm = ... line with this to get better performance:
var searchTerm;
if (text.includes("^") || text.includes("$")) {
/* Only use slower bookending on matches including ^ or $, as the faster bookending is fine otherwise */
searchTerm = encodeURIComponent(`(?:^|\\b)(?s:${text})(?:$|\\b)`);
} else {
searchTerm = encodeURIComponent(`\\b(?s:${text})\\b`);
}

BTW Can i deploy a smokey instance on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine if doesn't works as server but as just regular PC (i mean i frequently shutdown and reboot it so it works probably ½ — ¼ of twenty-four hours)?
@VictorVosMottor Are you talking about running a testing instance under your own account in your own room, or running an official instance in here under the Smokey account?
@VictorVosMottor Running an official instance requires explicit permission from the admins. SmokeDetector runners are given the Runner role on metasmoke, which grants access to a dashboard you'd use to create a MS integration token. Runners are also room owners of Charcoal, and members of the private Keybase team we use to communicate credentials and other secure information.
Because of the access to sensitive information, runner privileges are given out very judiciously. You'd have to ask the admins to be certain, but most requests for runner privileges have been denied of late, because we don't currently have a need for more people running instances (and if we did, we have a number of existing runners who could launch additional instances)

@RyanM Probably what needs to happen is that the post should be escalated to the Community Team, who should report it to HHS or somebody
and in any case, that type of personal crisis is really not a good fit for a Q&A site -- of course there can be legitimate questions about that sort of thing, but it's clear that this post is more of an individual request for help than a normal Q&A reference question
So I raised a custom flag, not very eloquent but it should get the point across
