Incorrect detection of Non-English link in answer #248

Closed rschrieken closed 7 years ago

rschrieken commented 8 years ago

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:

https://jsfiddle.net/TC2006/vcfjhg4m/[][1]

    Just something I made in JSFiddle.

    Hope it helps. :)

Can this be fixed or explained why it qualifies for being reported?

Link to reason in code, for reference:

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.

angussidney commented 7 years ago

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.
