  • It baffles me why SE code itself does not detect phone numbers and flag them as suspected spam, only visible in review queues. Do I need to install python to run it ? Commented Aug 5, 2023 at 1:55
  • @RohitGupta GitHub actions should install it for you. I just fixed a bug a few minutes ago, so try running the action again. Commented Aug 5, 2023 at 9:14
