# Spam, ads, and scams (smart check)

Unsolicited ads, scams and phishing wording, including the leetspeak and spacing tricks the instant rules can miss.

Say a message gets past the flood limits and the lookalike-link check. The smart check still asks: is this spam, an ad, or a scam? Disguised spellings included.

## Catches

-   Copy-paste crypto or nitro scams with no obviously bad domain.
-   Repeated self-promotion and ads nobody asked for.
-   Phishing setups spelled out in text, even when the link itself is hidden.

## Layering

Instant scam hosts and spam floods get handled first, without spending a check. This category catches what's left.
