Hi Ditto,

I noticed you removed some vandalism from a question at Doctor Who Answers (DWA). Thanks for that. When you did this, though, you also removed a deletion tag on the question. That tag indicated that the question is itself suspected of being posted as "spam". Indeed, it was posted by the same user who subsequently added the vandalism that you removed. I've now replaced the deletion tag.

If possible, please watch out for deletion (or other) tags that ought not to be removed. At DWA we use several tags:


 * Delete - Alerts the admins that a question ought to be deleted for some reason;
 * Clarify - Alerts the user who posted the question that it needs to be clarified for some reason, before an answer can be given;
 * Relocate - Alerts the user who posted the question that it has been posted in the wrong part of the site & ought to be re-posted in a more appropriate place;
 * Clean up - Alerts users in general that the answer to the question needs to be cleaned up (or updated) for some reason.

The tags allow for the reasons to be given but sometimes they're not given (because they seem too obvious or because the user who placed the tag is being lazy).

Please note that this message is intended as information you can use, not as a complaint.

BTW, you asked "Answers have vandalism too now?" Unfortunately, we've had it for some very considerable time. It's nothing new & it's no more "clever" on Answers wikis than it is anywhere else.
