I didn't know it had been "upgraded" to Protectors only - but it makes sense as it's a "head shot" for the message.

What happens is that the span filter isn't sure, so it asks for confirmation before the message, or question, or answer is published. And that's a single operation. Click "it's fine" and it's straight through, "no way José" and it's straight in the bin.
The user however lives to span another day - which also makes sense in the early days of the filter. You want to get some solid performance data in before you let The Machine kill accounts automatically.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
