You can access that tool by following these instructions:

1. Log into an account on your forum that has administrator privileges.
2. Navigate to this page on your forum: `/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-spam`
3. Click the “ **Test…** ” button on that page.  
The “ **Test spam detection** ” dialog will open.
4. Enter the URL or post ID of your test spam post into the “ **Post URL or ID** ” field in the dialog.
5. Click the “ **Run test** ” button.
