It’s not clear to me whether this falls under ‘support’ or ‘features’ or ‘ux’.

We’ve been getting a lot of posts flagged for review lately. In our history with discourse, I think I’ve only seen one, maybe two true spam posts. (One of which was _not_ caught by the filter.) For all the rest the flags are rejected. And lately a _lot_ of posts have been flagged. For a while it was maybe one every couple/three weeks. Now it’s 3-4 _a day._

I looked for a way to tune the filter and came up against the fact that Askimet is external. So I guess that’s why I’m not seeing any controls for it. So okay, I’ve resolved myself to continue clearing the flags manually.

But I just stumbled across this part of the interface:

 ![Selection_1023](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/8/08a0ad51ddad82172599a539a49ead4db8a467e0.jpeg)

This is what you get when you click ‘Settings’ on the review page.

It seems to be about tuning… some?.. aspect of… the filter? how the results are presented? which results I even see…?

I’d like to ratchet down detection. Our site is technical and we _expect_ people to post logs (which… apparently? sometimes? trip the filter???) but I’m afraid to mess with these controls since I have absolutely no idea what they actually do. And a quick search here in Meta didn’t find anything.

So… help?
