No, when we popped a dialog on every Akismet check it caused massive usability issues. If the issue is specific to new topics, and only those topics that are detected by Akismet as spam, it should be very narrow.
The anti-virus like behavior of
- Wait for the thing to exist
- Scan it
- Quarantine it if scan fails (proactively delete it)
Seems to be most correct here.
I have definitely seen users re-post the same information as many as 5 or 10 times when this happens, though. And it leads to a big pile up of duplicate posts that you have to approve, all of them, as not-spam, and then go delete the dupes manually. So it would be good to do something, maybe send them a PM when this happens? Cc: @eviltrout
