@Pikalek user gets flags, flags ban author and flags IP, all users with this IP get banned, the system works!

@Zibelas do you have links?

@Zibelas ah, no need, they're the same user that was mentioned by Pikalek

@Pikalek For context: both the accounts in this case were identifiable as the same physical user (or organization), so we were able to catch them both in one pass. But when in doubt, if you see this happen again, it doesn't hurt to flag the answer first, then the question. That'll ensure they're both caught, even if the posts are such that the system can't automatically associate them.

It's not a big deal if you don't flag in the optimal order though. A spam answer on a deleted question isn't causing any harm, and if that spammer posts on another question, we can just catch and flag them there instead.

@Zibelas In this case, the system was able to auto-detect the similarity and flag them.

Good to know! I don't want to generate any more work for y'all than I need to, but I also don't want to shirk civic responsibility by doing nothing when I could be doing something - esp if it's as simple as flagging a post.

lol, also thought about commenting on their combo use of c# and unityscript - "are you sure you didn't mean to spam with unity instead? Unityscript has been defunct for many years. Unless you're deliberately trying to target users insterested in legacy code, consider editing your spam."

😂

Also, no stress. It's the spammers making work for us, not you. You do more than your fair share of civic upkeep already, and it's greatly appreciated!
