Is the phrase "Long Path Tool" in the heuristics for Smoky? People keep approving spam for this: stackoverflow.com/review/first-posts/7671711 and I found a few more instances while digging around. Maybe Smoky could catch those, because these folks have been spamming this stuff for at least five years now.

AstroCBWe recently began the sixth moderator election on Stack Overflow. There is a huge number of highly qualified candidates, and there are 23 overall at the time of this writing.
