Yeah I already saw that, I meant did anything important happen here in this chat room ? Did someone find a way to break this room again like last time ? Or some exciting Smokedetector updates ? :D
I was thinking about creating a Smokedetector for the PHP tag, to quickly downvote and flag bad questions from people who just read a crap tutorial on some W3 schools website and complain that their deprecated mysql_query doesn't work.
The presence of mysql_* functions and a spell checker should do the trick, usually these are two things that are always present in this type of low-quality question... the user just copy/pastes a lot of deprecated code and can't even describe his issue in proper english.
Of course it won't be perfect, but if it manages to get even 30% of those questions (without too much false positives obviously) that's still a good start.
That's the kind of question I'm talking about (there is way worse btw) : stackoverflow.com/questions/24528737/… (look at the first revision, it got edited since then)
No code formatting which means the spell checker will see that as text and of course the check will fail completely, which is enough to report the post to the chat room.
Sigh. It's really disappointing when you work on a website for a couple months (well, not a lot a month, but still) and then, when you're almost done, you the exact thin you were looking for, plus a few features you were going to compliment later to set yourself apart.
