1. Your question is off-topic for Super User. 2. Even if it were to be moved to the correct site (Stack Overflow), it would be to broad. 3. Please don't use swear words in every second sentence. — angussidney22 secs ago

something about hard-failure on these value errors is angering me...
@Undo @ArtOfCode at earliest convenience - github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/pull/487 - an attempt to 'handle' such ValueErrors in a way that won't explode evilly. Though, I leave it to you to decide to incorporate or not.
@Undo well, if it gets an invalid error, it gets stuck in the loop until the 'valid' values which dont trigger errors are there, and only on those errors
any other ValueError results in the hard crash
and any other error type also results in the crash
the only downside will be if it takes fifty tries to get a valid value, but I don't think it'll have to take 50 to get a valid value
i could recode it with a counter and a count over a certain # of tries hard-crashes with a custom RuntimeError name
in the interim though it won't explode on us heh
I've used these 'special case' while loops before, with a listserv implementation
where if there's a "send an email" timeout, it tries again and again up to 10 times to resend

@Cucumber we have a bot called SmokeDetector (see above ^) which scans all new and edited posts across the entire SE network for spam and abusive posts. For an overview of what we do, check out charcoal-se.org

Remember that these messages are also posted in 'general' chatrooms. Those people might see 1 or 2 Smokey messages a day (if they're lucky). They need to be self-explanatory and not contain much of our 'lingo'.

@AshishAhuja I feel it should link to charcoal-se.org and not the GitHub repo. It's still useful for people in other rooms than this one, especially if they haven't heard of Smokey before.

@Glorfindel I would collect all the ideas and put in one issue - after all it is one problem we are trying to address (the report output being too long to include all the info required).
Normally we flag that as abusive, which doesn't need mod intervention. But that would only confuse the spam filters - and perhaps even mods - now that you've edited it. Please don't edit spam/abusive.
@StoneyB As a general rule, if you come across something like that - don't edit it. Just leave it as is, and flag it as abusive - that removes the post far quicker. Editing it obscures the offensive bit, which often means people don't flag it and it doesn't get removed.
@ArtOfCoce, @JanDvorak -- Thanks, guys. I will know better what to do next time. The post has been deleted; unhappily, it was deleted by the targeted mod, which I suspect will prompt further outbursts. Sigh.
The newly elected president of the United States Stack Overflow has ordered that users from 7 islamitic notorious spam-generating countries cannot enter the country site anymore, effective immediately.
Oh, and M.A.R., I believe you're from one of the affected countries. If you feel offended by my message, please let me know and I'll ask to have it trashed.
I'm waiting on a passport, though not because I'm trying to get out of the country (US). It could still be useful for further proving citizenship (even though I was born here), considering I have an Arabic name.
