@Giacomo1968 if I understand correctly it will use your flags to auto flag spam

@Giacomo1968 first read this charcoal wiki article on AutoFlagging and then set up your Metasmoke autoflagging preferences here - you will need to grant charcoal write access to your account through the api.
Just FYI, non-core members usually only get about 1-5 flags used on their behalf a day, so not much individually but it adds up

I have Civic Duty now, 98% percent of which comes from downvoting spam.

@CPlus In all honesty I don’t really downvote spam. It usually gets deleted very shortly after being posted do I don’t see a whole lot of point
Good for you, though!
Thanks.
I downvote spam because it does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful.
In all seriousness, I like it when the spam in as negative standing as possible, i.e., as low score as possible, etc.

And I just got 900 helpful flags, which means I now maxed out my daily flags here.

superuser.com/questions/1877048/… spam or poorly phrased?

Definitely not spam

@A-Tech Poorly worded questions that I just re-edited to make it sound less scammy. It’s also an incredibly naive question: Go ask QuickBooks.

Super User is many things, but not Quickbooks support :D

“Income Tax is coming soon for your business.” Maybe it means that it’s tax season in the U.S. and they haven’t released that feature yet but want to acknowledge it?

Sheeesh… This is like some Reddit level stuff here. It’s like saying, “Why is water falling from the sky?” or “Why is it dark? Did the sun go away? Anyone know if it’s coming back? TIA! :)”
@Giacomo1968 expidiated

Did the attention to the spam wave increase the general activity on SU? Feels a bit like it.
