@lila I don't think you made a mistake - the answer does address parts of the question and I'll leave it. As for reviewing, I always advise people to open the linked post and review posts in situ. Thanks for the ping. :)
You're doing really well on the site, don't take the declined flags as a bad thing, they're a way of communicating with you to say - yeh this is cool - and nah - change the way you're flagging - that's all. Whenever I've modded I've tried to teach the flaggers how to flag. I was a moderator on Stack Overflow and handled 75000 flags, no lie.
I look at spam flags in their totality of the person's account and contributions. Spam posts carry a 100 rep point deduction and it places restrictions on the IP address of the user. They carry serious consequences, so they're not something I will accept lightly - if that makes sense. But you are not to know this without being told :)
@lila I declined the flag. I look at the user's profile and all their posts. They have written many posts in good faith and have not always included a link to the blog post. Linking to outside resources is not against the site rules, but coming to the site with the sold purpose of promoting a product or site is not ok. In this particular post I asked the user for more information from the blog post and they provided it. I'm glad you asked, as when I declined it, there was not
@lila you can only ping someone in chat if they've been in the room recently. Mods do have the power to ping users who haven't been in chat for a while, but it's something that is done infrequently
omg look at the search results for "milking your lower leg" google.com/… hilarious - considering calf and lower leg are kinda synonymous @anongoodnurse
@anongoodnurse it's almost better thanks. The scleroderma is always there, but I'm hoping I can get on me feet now my leg seems to be better. How are you?
