Oct 13, 2019 at 18:09 comment added LаngLаngС @tim These 'new ideas' may be interesting, if the problem is shown to be bigger than the examples. Bigger=posts with staying power, despite AS in them. I second fredsbend in that quickly deleted posts cannot be the problem you meant. The problem I see are only those that remain online despite having AS content to varying degrees. Those that get perhaps 1–2 deserved flags and then a mod decides 'nah' & moves on. On H:SE the resident denialist tries his shtick once a week and disappears from view before a feed is updated. How do we tackle thin or thickly veiled AS that is online?

I'm sure those could also be bypassed, but if it would catch at least some percentage of these questions, that would already be something.
Oct 13, 2019 at 17:59 comment added tim You yourself suggested going to SE staff with this. It's my understanding that meta.skeptics.SE is definitely not the right way to reach them, so OP opened a question on this meta. It might not be the best way to reach them, but now complaining that OP tried this seems odd. Also, my experience is that the Holocaust questions make up at least your suggested 20% of spam, likely more. Getting actual stats on this from SE staff would definitely be interesting.
