Facility for providing deleted etc samples
When a post is deleted, we can no longer !!/report
it. It would still be nice if there was an API or whatever so that those of us who can scrape samples could provide them into the archive.
Here's a recent smattering of samples which would be nice to have in Metasmoke: https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/49301014#49301014
Sounds like a great feature, especially since it will help us reduce the number of false negatives passing through the system.
One thought though: this feature should require a post URL and check that the post is actually deleted before adding to the database, to avoid any chance of something being autoflagged incorrectly.
I have a related system proposed and in Shog's to-do list to look at. I'd like to surface spam deleted on SO to Charcoal automatically so we can glean blacklist items from stuff we miss, in near-real-time.
Since Shog no longer works at SE Inc and I assume that this system is either gone or stalled indefinitely, I wanted to poke this issue again to see if we want to either poke SE about it again or implement a way to have user-created spam posts.
