| Aug 28, 2013 at 20:44 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @Seth You're talking about preventing the introduction of new spammy language to an existing post. This bug is about how editing an existing post requires removing existing language from it that was already present. That's totally different. Furthermore, consider the possibilities: If it wasn't spam, it's a false positive. If it was spam, then the system forces editors to remove text that makes it easy to spot as spam (but not the actual "payload," such as links or email addresses). It's a lose-lose situation. Fixing the bug doesn't require allowing the introduction of new spammy language. | |
| Aug 28, 2013 at 20:32 | comment | added | Seth | @EliahKagan I think it is, since it prevents spammers posting a (some what) legit question and then editing it into spam.. Or something similar to that. | |
| Aug 28, 2013 at 20:28 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @Seth No, being unable to easily edit posts that are already on the site, because of keywords already present in them, is not what we want. | |
| Aug 26, 2013 at 17:44 | comment | added | Seth | So... I fail to see what could, or needs to be done about this.. Isn't this what we want? | |

| Aug 25, 2013 at 18:02 | comment | added | RobotHumans | I love that The Walking Dead is the new spam-post auto-flag. I'm sorry you couldn't edit something though. I'm guessing it will get through if you do something similar to a ninja edit with a <!--- /---> inside the walking dead. Just saying. As long as it's harder to spam than it is to fix, SE is doing it right. | |
