Twice in the last two days I’ve seen posts that had just been edited by staff marked by the system as spam. Yesterday’s example I shrugged off. Here’s today’s:

Can we maybe assume that staff would have handled spam appropriately rather than simply editing it?

Thanks for letting us know!

A post edit from a staff member shouldn’t trigger an Akismet spam check. I’ll work on a fix.
