There is an unexpected outage of the Internet service in my area, and the ISP is working on it. From the ISP (Comcast): "We have detected an unexpected interruption affecting your services at [SNIP]. We expect a resolution by 09-18-2023 at approximately 01:10 PM." Timezone is UTC-4, so hopefully we get a resolution in an hour. This affects MetaSmoke and the Thoth SD instance. If you get MS related issues with your scripts and such, it's probably because MS is down

I only just managed to get myself to a computer for my hotspot to get to the INternets to post this
@Jesse I'm personally OK keeping it watched for now; I do see that the recent trend is towards FP, but it still has 5/30/0 or ~14% TP, which isn't awesome, but isn't yet terrible
Doesn't this look like spam? Like, did they even pay attention to what site they were on (Magento) when trying to make it not look like spam (recommending a WordPress plugin)?
For that matter, look at the other answer there plugging their own site in the last link
@Laurel That one is definitely spam. The second one is relatively ok, as far as I can tell it's answering the question. The link is still unnecessary though, and needs clear disclosure.
@user16217248 That's not really the appropriate way to get feedback. You should just post a link in here and ask what people think. People are very likely to respond, and if it is spam, someone will certainly report it as well. Please avoid reporting posts when you're not sure if they're actually spam.
@cigien Ok, in the future I'll only report posts if I know they're spam with certainty. But this time is it alright, since it did turn out to actually be spam?
For example, if an answer is completely unrelated to the question, but is still promoting a product, then it's spam regardless of disclosure. Basically, "exists solely to promote a product/too/service" means it's spam, regardless of disclosure. Of course, if the question explicitly asks for a recommendation, that's ok. But then it depends how often a product is promoted, even when solicited. It can get tricky to tell where to draw the line sometimes, but usually it's clear cut.
@Jesse That pattern looks like it's already caught by Potentially bad keyword in body and Potentially bad keyword in answer Append -force to the command word(s) if you really want to add the pattern you provided.
@JeffSchaller No, I intended FP there. The question title translates as "How do I make the modal wider?" While I consider it VLQ and closable, it doesn't appear to be abuse or spam to me. If they had edited from what they have now to the content in the report, then it would be TP, but it appeared to be an actual attempt to ask a question, even though it wasn't of a quality that should exist on the site.
@JeffSchaller To me, there's a question in the title. I don't like the question as it is, and as a moderator I'd be happy to closed and delete it, but it doesn't appear to be at the level where it should be blocked by this project (i.e. have red flags placed on it via autoflagging, which did happen). At least part of my intent in giving FP feedback was to trigger the automatic pings to those users who had autoflagged.
