Fan switched off
-
Looks like this site is now running like an electric fan whose power is turned off. The fan will rotate for some time under its own momentum, before coming to a stop. Why I get this inference is that usually spam articles used to vanish after being reported by 5 users. However, now we see spam articles not vanishing even after 25 users report as spam. Looks like no daily maintenance of this site.

That's a one off case for that particular article. I reported in the Bugs&Suggestions forum. Many articles reported after that were closed after 5 reports. Edit: I think someone nuked it.
That was me. Spam articles aren't fed to the automated system (because they legitimately contain so much stuff that in a message would be spam) so once the user is gone, his articles can be deleted with no effect on the rest of the system. I think there is a timing bug that leaves spam articles in place if they get the fifth and sixth vote in close proximity - but it's pretty much impossible to track down in dev!

Additionally it is something that has happened from time to time due to other things like missing synchro between servers.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
