May 17, 2012 at 17:07 | comment | added | avpaderno | @MPD You flagged an answer that has not been spammed. | |
May 17, 2012 at 16:26 | comment | added | mpdonadio | @kiamlaluno, I didn't reject the edit. I flagged w/ custom reason so a mod could take care of the spammer at the same time. | |
May 17, 2012 at 16:05 | comment | added | avpaderno | @MPD There aren't any rejected edits for question 29677, or any of its answers. | |
May 17, 2012 at 15:54 | comment | added | mpdonadio | @kiamlaluno, both questions are in my flag summary w/ custom reasons. The flag on 29677 still points to a valid answer (which suggests the spam edit), while 20893 points to a deleted answer (which suggests the cloned answer w/ the spam link). | |
May 17, 2012 at 15:48 | comment | added | avpaderno | @MPD I don't see any suggested edits done for any of the answers for the question 29677, while the question 20893 is the one linked with the first link. The suggested edits I reported here are the spammy ones done this month. You can see the suggested edits you rejected on this page. | |
May 17, 2012 at 15:38 | comment | added | mpdonadio | @kiamlaluno, I am not sure your edits are correct. My recollection (backed up my flagging summary) is that question 29677 had the spam edit made directly to an answer, and question 20893 had the answer cloned to include a spam link. | |
May 17, 2012 at 13:44 | comment | added | eldarerathis | We've gotten edits similar to these on Android.SE periodically. Here's one from yesterday. I know I've seen it happen before that, too. | |
May 17, 2012 at 13:28 | comment | added | Arjan | As for your examples: seems the quality filter needs to scan for BBCode too...? | |
May 17, 2012 at 13:23 | comment | added | Arjan | Yup, @Bill, that must be why two users approved that edit. (Kudos to Sha Dow Wiz Ard for finding that, by the way.) | |

May 17, 2012 at 13:18 | comment | added | Bill the Lizard Mod | @Arjan Luxury fashion? Seems totally legit on SO. ;) | |
May 17, 2012 at 13:14 | comment | added | Arjan | One example yesterday, and even accidentally approved, @Bill. | |
May 17, 2012 at 13:04 | comment | added | Bill the Lizard Mod | I've been pretty active in the Stack Overflow suggested edit review tool for the past couple of weeks and I haven't noticed much spam there. | |

Added examples.

May 17, 2012 at 12:45 | comment | added | Cody Gray | I've seen it a couple of times recently here on Meta, particularly the first type of abuse. It's too hard to say if this happens on Stack Overflow, since most of the users I would be inclined to assume are bots actually have real people sitting behind the keyboard. But that's a whole other problem... | |
