Spam detection is never an all or nothing proposition. If the scoring is appropriate, then the one FP on the BigEvil rules wouldn't be the only determining factor anyways. That is part of the beauty of SA. It takes a consensus of many rules to typically decide something is spam or not. Again, it is easy to either edit the rule, or just adjust the score down a little. > > They stay. Good. I think they should too.
