@SmokeDetector tp

SmokeDetector

@ʎǝʞuoɯɹǝqʎɔ true/tp cannot be used for answers because their job is to add the title of the question to the Bayesian doctype 'bad'. If you want to blacklist the poster of the answer, use trueu or tpu.

@ʎǝʞuoɯɹǝqʎɔ why?

ProgramFOX

8:44 AM

@ʎǝʞuoɯɹǝqʎɔ As Smokey says, only tpu can be used for answers when marking as true positive.

@James The user is blacklisted, it's just a crappy question, not a crappy user. Only blacklist users which are spammers or constantly provide poor questions.
