My guess is that it's the CCP abusing the flagging system to trick the existing anti-abuse systems into doing the dirty work for them... An infiltrator would be harder to get in place and much easier to find and deal with (if they did something as crass as manipulate a word list). Great! Let's fix it! Suppose you just throw the words on a whitelist? Well, now there are a couple magic words you can put in unrelated spam comments to ensure that they don't get deleted. Honestly, all the people knotting their underwear about this don't seem like they've ever seriously thought about abuse on large platforms. It's an inherently adversarial environment, and you have to game out second- and third-order consequences for pretty much everything. And even then there will be unintended consequences. A 'real' fix that doesn't break lots of other things takes time. |
