@Mast Yeah, that one gave me trouble as well, but was fixed on reloading. FWIW, the FIRE popup on the latest report metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/413127 won't open for me, even after reloading the page, so there does seem to be something odd going on.

@SmokeDetector Text of answer is copied verbatim from the linked website, and doesn't really answer the asked question. It looks purely like promotion for the linked site.
@JeffSchaller I've added more rationale to the MS report. And yeah, it may not be obvious. Perhaps a custom flag with the reasoning would be better? (I already spam flagged it).
Several undisclosed affiliation spam answers that were probably AI generated from this user over at diy.se.

@blackgreen The pattern is for a blogspot domain, but keeps the top level domain (TLD; e.g. .com). For Blogspot, we prefer the TLD to not be included in watchlist/blacklist entries. Append -force to the command word(s) if you really want to add the pattern you provided.

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad keyword in username (1): CNC Router and Plasma Combo Machine review from French user‭ by AccTek Machinery‭ on stackoverflow.com
13:06
@blackgreen Was this seen in some unreported spam? I'm not seeing any hits for it on MS.
@blackgreen from a deleted SO answer, I assume?
it's a user who is hiding links to their blog in chatGPT answers
!!/approve 7558
I suspect the user is creating answers to SO questions with chatGPT on their blog, and then copy-pasting the blog with some words formatted as links
Saw a cached SO search result from ~7 hours ago; guess the search cache just updated b/c now it's gone
I just wiped away everything
@blackgreen Could you share one of those answers? No need to report it or anything.
@cigien yes just a sec

As you can see the blogspot link blurb is seemingly identical to the SO one. It could even be a bot
Yeah, and the phrasing of the answer and the username also makes it clearly spam.
13:15
yeah, I also nuked one of those posts as spam
for some reason the user has posted one single non-AI non-promo answer, so I didn't outright destroy

Yeah, that makes sense.

Can we whitelist some domains like ubuntu.com, launchpadcontent.net even if they are at the beginning or end of a post? These are not spam for sure.
@Pilot6 The "link at beginning" and "link at end" detections are not content-aware, but I'd personally like to see at least a couple of additions to a whitelist for them. The most notable of which would be i.stack.imgur.com. The same goes for linked punctuation, because lots of new users struggle with the link markdown and we end up getting an FP because of it. So... While it would be nice if we did this, it's not currently built, and getting someone to take the time to do it is difficult.
Especially when the reward is just a few less FPs, which are easily dismissed by giving them FP feedback.
OK. I see.

Do you guys thing this post would be spam or just off-topic?
@Jesse Job ads are inherently spam, but... There's no contact info, really. Tough call.
I think spam flagging that wouldn't be appropriate, so I think it's fine to just close and delete it normally.
