@EEAA:In my experience on both sides of the line considerable care is taken with all flags. We get no benefit from knowing who throws Spam and Offensive flags, unlike others they are anonymous. That you edited them is neither here nor there, no one knew that you threw the flag too and after being edited they look like reasonable answers and certainly don't look like spam. Most flags are handled in under an hour and frequently considerably less, links are all nofollow. If you're going to edit spam out then just edit the whole post to something like Spam Was Here...

| Jan 6, 2013 at 20:19 | comment | added | EEAA | I recently had two spam flags declined (flag 1, flag 2), when both of those were very obviously spam posts. I had edited out the spam links before flagging them, which perhaps was the problem. I guess I just wish a bit more care would be taken when declining flags. It would have taken 5 seconds more to look at the the edit history to see that the OP did indeed post spam links. | |
