* There are more than twenty hits in the last six months, and no false positives.
* There are recent hits, and more than 30 hits overall, and no false positives.
* **Blacklisted keywords:** reserved for phrases which we are highly confident that are used only in spam. You may add a phrase to this list if the following is true.
* The phrase has been used repeatedly in recent spam, has no false positives in metasmoke, and searching on Stack Exchange indicates that it is not a common phrase on any site in the network. When searching on Stack Exchange, you need to search [in text](https://stackexchange.com/search), [in URLs](https://stackexchange.com/search?q=url%3A), and [in code](https://stackexchange.com/search?q=code%3A).

It must also meet similar true positive and false positive requirements as are in place for blacklisted websites.
* **Watched keywords:** anything is game, but be prepared to have it removed if circumstances require it.
* We will be removing patterns periodically; you can reduce the risk of having useful patterns removed by proactively removing patterns you no longer are interested in, or which produce very uncertain value.
* Autoflagging weight for this reason is technically forced to stay at 1.
