@Cerbrus Nope. Waiting for more ideas.
 
Basically: never ever edit out spam.
In fact, I'd (we'd) rather see edits like that reverted, so they get flagged quicker.
 
What about NSFW link porn or virus?
If it's some regular spam like Testosterone Boost, I would definitely roll it back
In fact, few people edit out this boost or that maxx spam
 
@iBug Don't edit. Flag.
And revert
An censored spam post will just end up getting down/delete votes instead. That way, the user isn't "punished"
 
OK.
If you don't mind, vote Journeyman Geek's answer up.
That makes it a "consensus"

Q: Documentation for `option_id`, for the `/flags/options` API calls?

CerbrusThe Stack Exchange API has a couple of calls that return a list of flag_option objects. These objects contain a couple of properties that can be used to identify the flag you need. For example, when I want to cast a spam flag from an app, I used to look for a flag option with an title equal to "...

A question! Why can't we automatically flag a post as R/A via FIRE?

Not possible for technical reasons.

And then especially this message:
Feb 28 '17 at 21:31, by Pops
It's... hard... to argue in favor of writing an algorithm and making a bot spend time calculating which of the two flag types to use when they are, in actuality, the exact same flag. It's not even Coke vs. Pepsi, it's Pepsi vs. a second bottle of Pepsi that's using a different but still valid Pepsi logo.

I recently came across a question that was deleted for rude/abuse. I was the last person to flag it before it was deleted, so I think smokey didn't read the question because it was deleted at the time my userscript reported the post. Should I manually report the (now deleted) post, so that smokey can keep track of it?
 
Unfortunately, that doesn't work - Smokey can only read not-deleted posts.
And in general, while catching rude/abusive posts is nice and I have no problem !!/report-ing them, automated detection of them and keeping records is less of a priority than it is for straight spam.
 
Even if Smokey had the privileges (10k / diamond status), it still wouldn't work because deleted posts aren't returned via the SE API.
 
@Glorfindel Well that seems like an oversight? I think if they have the ability to see deleted posts, it should be able to fetch them.

Now that it's all fixed up I can safely hand you a giant ball of flaming gas.
 
So... is it porkchat that's causing the problem?
 
@Catija looks suspiciously like it... can't verify for certain cuz I don't have porkchat, but it's calling something called replace_emoji - which sounds like it would mess with the FIRE emoji
 
Maybe if I just turn that part off. It's optional.
OK. That seems to have fixed it. I wasn't really sure I wanted to use that part, anyway, so it's no big deal.
 
@Catija got an install link for porkchat?

gottit, ta
repro
 
It's actually a really nice addon. It's where the site whois autocomplete came from... has a dark chat theme... fun stuff.
Fredley's open to PRs, so feel free to poke at it if you want to make it compatible.
 
That's the idea... if it's reasonably easy
 
fredley literally only works on porkchat while drunk
so if there's problems that could be why
 
HAHAHAHAHA
 
8:22 PM
 
I believe replace_emoji is for stuff like :fire: -> <emoji>
 
yeah
 
Yeah, it is... I disabled them both but I think the replace emoji would be fine.
Did a bit more poking... it's actually the opposite of what I thought... the replace emoji shortcodes is what's breaking it, not the enlarge emoji.
