The non-English link text here is an empty link text. I looked at this a while back; it's only been detected a couple times in the past few months, and it does seem somewhat strange to have no link text, so maybe this is a decent idea to detect. I'm not sure though.
@hichris1234 I'm not saying it shouldn't be detected but I had to hit edit to check the markdown to verify that there was not something hiding in there. So I'm fine with detecting this empty link text but I would love to not have that called non-english although technically empty is also non-english...
I'm gonna close this, because we haven't had any recurrences.
And I'm going to reopen this, because we literally just had another occurence of this about 20 minutes after you closed it:

Typical. Inconsiderate spammers, no thought for the common spam-detectors.

This answer was reported as Non English Link in Answer but I fail to see where the non-english is. The markup of the post was:
Can this be fixed or explained why it qualifies for being reported?
