Back when the Spy could read whispers and Blackmailers couldn't..... There were things called "Spy tests". One user would whisper to another user and ask the Spy claim to read the whisper out loud. If the Spy was correct, they would be instantly confirmed as a Spy.

Then on August 3rd of 2016, Blackmailers were also able to read whispers. So if a person was correct with reading a whisper, they weren't automatically confirmed to be a Spy and could still potentially be a Blackmailer.

As of June 12th of 2017, the Spy can no longer read whispers. However, the Blackmailer still can. If someone passes a Spy test, they are likely to be a Blackmailer or someone who is cheating.
