I've tested this myself with users that are deemed spammers. The spammer flag is visible for them on the Public flags field.

Yes I see. The individual in question that I've found the spammer flag for is still active, they're still sending messages in chat. The account is not disabled yet. Any message they send is collapsed since they're a spammer.

Then you look at the wrong comment.

The official response from the staff team was:

This flag has no use for bots, and will not be documented here.

There are some flags that are public in the api, but not documented on purpose, that's how it is.

I see, but couldn't bots just check users public flags? Then they could check whether the flag matches 1 << 20 and ban/kick them from the server immediately upon join. This could reduce amount of spammers in servers, very useful idea for moderation bots.

The spammer flag is intended to only be on disabled accounts, if it is on an active account (and the account must be active if it is joining a server) then there was a mistake
