- Combining several suggestions here: if a post has active (pending) spam flags, then we take the following actions:
- - For anonymous users (people not logged in), we don't render the links.
- - For logged-in users, we add a notice to the post: "Possible spam: this post has pending flags for spam. Be careful when following links."
- For the post author, the notice instead says: "Your post has been flagged by members of our community. Please review our <a href="/help/spam">guidelines for promotional content</a>.- If we find that people are abusing this to decorate innocent posts with notices then we can add some sort of checks based on the abilities of the flagger or recipient, but I was hoping to avoid that complexity.
