1275322 - Give spam admins information on how to submit their revision

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Kadir Topal [:atopal]]

Currently, if a revision is suspected to be spam, there is no obvious way for trusted contributors to tell Akismet that the revision is not spam.

Currently we display the following message: 

"Your submission includes content that may not be suitable for MDN. Repeated attempts to submit unsuitable material may result in your account being deactivated. See our guide “Does this belong on MDN?” for details on what constitutes appropriate material.

    If you believe you’ve received this message by mistake, please save a draft of your content and contact the site administrators."

Please add another section that is only shown to spam moderators:

"As a spam moderator you can (mark this submission as ham) [1] and try submitting it again."

As far as I know, the revision is not created if the content is suspected as spam.
But in the current workflow, untill a revision is created, its not possible to mark it as ham.

So if we redirect the moderator to [1], its not possible for him/her to do anything.(As no revision is created with his submission)

@atopal, 

Because there is no context on this page (it's not really a page, but a form error message), I can't check user permissions, with the current code without a bit of a refactor. 

Would it be okay to alter the requirements to display the following message for all users when they see the spam message?

"If you are a spam moderator, you can (mark this submission as ham) [1] and try submitting it again."

For posterity: Yes, let's go with displaying it for everyone.
