Comment on Automatically hiding spam works

Okay, so, question. How can we tell on our side if it's been marked as spam? Is there going to be a little notification in our email, a symbol next to the work? Is it going to be blacked out? I haven't experienced it, so I don't know what to look for.

  They'll send you an email (and I think the work would be temporarily hidden, from the sounds of it). In all likelihood it's very very very unlikely an normal fic would be marked as spam - they're targeting spammers who are posting "fics" full of nonsense links to boost SEO rankings.

    they send you an email, just like they just did with me :)
    (and nope, it wasn't spam :))
