Everything should be gone now

Well, that bicycles.SE one needs one more.

Shadow The Spring Wizard

@JourneymanGeek thanks! That was a short backlog for you. :P

@Spevacus how can you tell? Score means nothing, many users just downvote without flagging. Once saw spam at -12 and still up and alive.

hehe like I said, it's now at -7 and still up. @Spe was wrong. ;)

My guess it needs 3 more.

(local site users simply don't know what spam is, so rarely flag. It's just us.)

too bad the real spam can't be flagged

Q: Is there a way to report spam, or OT comments on Stack Exchange blogs?

Is there a way to flag spam comments, or other OT comments on a Stack Exchange blog? Is there a way for blogs associated to Stack Exchange 2.0 sites? I just noticed the last two comments on https://blog.stackoverflow.com/2012/03/respect-the-community-your-own-and-others/: One seems a tentative of...

Are "community promotion ads" (as in meta.stackexchange.com/… ) supposed to exist on Literature SE? If not, is that because Lit was still a beta site at the last approximately-yearly cycle when they got refreshed? Will community promotion ads exist on Lit later?

@b_jonas meta.stackexchange.com has no community promotion ads. What exactly are you taking about? Can you post screenshot?

There are several different things, there are open source ads, there are auto generated Area51 promotion ads, and more. Can't know which of those you mean, sorry.

@ShadowTheSpringWizard I'm not asking about Meta SE, but about other SAE sites, sorry. I truncated the link accidentally when copy-pasting, it's supposed to be meta.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/community-promotion-ads

I mean the community promotion ads that are images with a link and come from answers to a special question on the site meta, such as scifi.meta.stackexchange.com/q/13395/4918

@b_jonas oh, so yeah this this answer:

A: How do we get Community Promotion Ads on beta sites?

Generally, you should start a discussion on the site's Meta to ask the community if they want/need community promotion ads on their site. If the response is overwhelmingly positive, then Stack Exchange will set up the necessary systems to make it happen on your site. Most beta sites, though, don'...
