I recently noticed an odd warning by the SmokeDetector bot about this question:

"Luncheon meat detected" report by SmokeDetector

What does this mean? Should I be worried about it?

What does " Luncheon meat detected" generally mean? Spam? R/A? or just suspicious? or something else? This was my misunderstandings from.

Robert Longson

The intent is to catch "hashes" left at the end of the post. It's FP prone...It's there to catch a specific troll that writes posts with "hashes" at the end. "Hashes" being a group of random letters without spaces.

More info is here but you need a special account with Charcoal.

    For what it's worth "FP-prone" means prone to false positives, i.e. Smoke Detector reporting posts as possible spam which are actually fine.
