Hmm, MS says me "You need to authenticate for write access first; you can do that here.", but /authentication/status doesn't mention about write access.

Magisch

@unarist Are you a flagger on metasmoke?

unarist

@Magisch No, I am only reviewer.

Magisch

@unarist You need to be flagger to use the autoflag thingy

I'm not sure how you get that

could be from installing & using FDSC

unarist

10:04 AM

Actually, I'm not going to participate autoflagging. I'm interested in "write access".

ArtOfCode

All permissions (except reviewer, which new accounts start with) are applied manually

@unarist we don't use write access for anything else, so there's kinda not much point.

DavidPostill

@Undo @ArtOfCode random it may be, but I haven't cast any autoflags yet (unless metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/flagging is broken). What gives?

@angussidney they add up quickly

I've already had over 1000 autoflags on my account...

DavidPostill

@ArtOfCode Ah. Missed that. I selected all the sites in conditions but not prefs. Thanks for fixing.

ArtOfCode

No worries. Ideally we'd simplify the whole thing, but there's not really an easy way to do that

angussidney

Maybe default to max 80 flags per site on all sites if no preferences are set?

ArtOfCode

@angussidney Hm... Possibly, but that feels like making a decision that only the account owner is qualified to make

angussidney

10:12 AM

Also, do we do a mod check before flagging?

It might be a good idea to do that rather than relying on people to set up their preferences right

Magisch

@ArtOfCode did you see the issue I filed on GH?

ArtOfCode

@angussidney We don't, at the moment

tripleee

what if it were dynamic, so that you could only get flags cast on sites where you have manually flagged X amount of spam?

ArtOfCode

probably somewhere in the wave of notifications I had this morning @Mag :)

angussidney

@tripleee Now we're getting complicated

Magisch

10:14 AM

It was about using auto flags from currently inactive users first

ArtOfCode

@tripleee [status:not-currently-possible]. The SE API doesn't have a route for getting past flag data.

Magisch

so that the active users can always still manually flag (while they're active)

angussidney

@ArtOfCode well, we could use feedbacks

Magisch

So that if Me, triplee and you are active in the room atm it wont use autoflags from me triplee and you unless no others are available

so we can always manually flag

ArtOfCode

@Magisch Yep, I did see that. Not sure how possible it is, but it's a decent idea

Magisch

10:15 AM

and the "visiting a question to see a robot has already cast my flag" effect is mitigated.

@ArtOfCode A quick and dirty fix would be based on feedback

So the person who hasn't given feedback the longest gets autoflag used first

since we're mostly using FDSC, feedback is a fine indicator of current activity.

angussidney

19 mins ago, by angussidney

It's another privilige level which is given out to regulars to Charcoal HQ/code contributors

Magisch

Our system pretty much prohibits misuse of the auto flagging anyways (with the min accuracy and whatnot) so why are we excluding reviewers from participating?

arda

the autoflag doesn't run on mod accounts' main sites, right?

ArtOfCode

@Magisch so we can limit who gets access to autoflags. New accounts start out with the Reviewer role, so if we use that then once we post on meta we'll have a million meta users signing up just to get free flags.

angussidney

10:24 AM

@arda you have to manually disable it in flag preferences

ArtOfCode

@arda they've gotta manually deselect them

arda

(iirc that autodestroys the post)

Magisch

@ArtOfCode isn't giving out reviewer manual too?

Or do you mean you'll have people feign interest in the project just to harvest free flags?

ArtOfCode

@Magisch Nope, new accounts start off with it. Used to be manual, now it's automatic. We can still take it away, if we need to, but the majority of new signups have no reason not to have it.

angussidney

@Magisch yes, but there is a difference between 'people we want to be able to feedback' and 'people who we want to be able to profit off our work'

ArtOfCode

10:25 AM

@Magisch basically this. We post on meta, a bunch of meta users go "I want free flags, I'm going to go sign up for them." Without the Flagger role, we can't control that.

Magisch

mhm

ArtOfCode

We wanted to limit it down to people who actually deserve to get something back out of this because they've put something into it. So, Flagger.

Magisch

maybe I'm underestimating how shitty people can be but I don't see helpful flags as profit

since the most you'll ever get from them is a badge

ArtOfCode

@Magisch people will take any chance to boost their stats

angussidney

@ArtOfCode I haven't gotten that far into the tutorial yet, but I'll make a guess that I have to remove github.com/Charcoal-SE/metasmoke/blob/master/app/controllers/… ?

Glorfindel

10:26 AM

There are people who do everything for a shiny badge.

angussidney

@Magisch why do you think there is such things as robo reviewers?

ArtOfCode

@angussidney that'd open it up to everyone, which isn't quite what we want.

Magisch

@angussidney point taken I guess

sigh

ArtOfCode

The :verify_flagger callback is in application_controller.rb, FYI. You're probably gonna need to create a :verify_reviewer method in there, then change the before_action in FlagConditionsController to point at that instead

Magisch

Something else

I wonder if we should treat manually reported question like they have 1 TP feedback from the reporter right away

since anyone'd only ever report something they'd also TP feedback

and reporting is on the same privilege level

arda

10:30 AM

I can help with autoflags if you want.

I wasn't too active on chat and flags from here, due to me being busy lately, but I feel like this is a great way to help.

angussidney

Well I'd be willing to let you, you have popped in from time to time and flagged stuff and I know you don't only want to get free flags

(either that or I'm biased because you're a fellow Arqade user)

But I'll leave it to @art on that one

arda

I couldn't care less about flag count tbh

angussidney

@Magisch the idea is that you shouldn't give feedback to your own report, it's just that we haven't really coded smokey to reject that sort of feedback :P

Magisch

I guess, but doesn't feedback say "Someone we trust thought this was spam"

arda

However, I understand that you might not want to let me, due to my lack of regular action. Up to you, I guess.

angussidney

10:34 AM

After all, sometimes non-regulars pop in and report NAAs (which they don't know shouldn't be reported), and we don't want an auto-tpu feedback on that

Magisch

And doesnt reporting a post say the same?

Glorfindel

@angussidney exactly that.

Magisch

@angussidney Feedback can be invalidated

angussidney

@Magisch yes, but we don't want to have to do it when the feedback shouldn't be there in the first place

if someone told me a year and 2 months ago that I'd be spending 10+ hours a week flagging spam on a Q/A network and fretting over spam statistics and how to prevent it I'd have called them nuts

@art does rails server update it's server to use the new code automatically when you save new code or does it require a restart

@angussidney whois is only part of the story, you want DNS too

part of the reason I wanted to look at the database is that I imagine we could want to expand the number of things we look up and store

whois is frequently out of date when it comes to the DNS hosting and very frequently anonymized by a friendly proxy service so the details you can get out of there are often very close to zero when it comes to industrial-scale spammers

in the Meta post I used passive DNS to see what else is hosted on the same IP address, which in that case was moderately useful

there is no straightforward way to ask "given an IP address, which web sites are hosted there" from whois or DNS etc, but passive DNS works by keeping a database of DNS queries and their results to produce a mapping

spammers also use redirects a lot, so you can have hundreds of superficially different sites which end up driving traffic to a single destination

and this pharma spammer seems to be doing that on a grand scale, the sites I looked at manually were all at different IP addresses all over the place

@MarkYisri still not clear which aspect you are asking about. the pharma spammer has been here for longer than we have metasmoke data, I believe, so a few years

Mark Yisri

Yes I meant the Pharma spammer

tripleee

11:23 AM

@ArtOfCode so you basically have a table of web sites and for each, the whois tech and admin records, and the whois registrar?

that's not going to work on a greater scale, many whois providers have a different schema so there is no easy way to unify into the schema you have

ArtOfCode

@tripleee dead on

@tripleee ah, but there is. I had a bot that did the whois scraping and schema-wrangling

tripleee

@ArtOfCode well yeah, in theory you could have a separate code path for each schema but you'd have to have hundreds

there are a few commercial whois aggregator services who do a decent job but their data costs money and still isn't perfect

and with the anonymizing services used by many spammers, the only useful piece of data is the registrar, which often isn't a useful discriminant

but if you would be prepared to include DNS analysis, I think this could be a useful system

Can you try starting it with your own account?

There may, just, be some weirdness around the fact that your bot's chat parent profile doesn't exist.

Mark Yisri

what ????

@ArtOfCode please explain

ArtOfCode

"CoyoteBot: user profile on askubuntu.com"

404 Not Found. It's been deleted.

Mark Yisri

ah ha, I'll have to fix that

I cheated on votes (public admission of wrongdoing) and got my bot's account deleted. Guess I hadn't recreated it yet. I'll check that

ArtOfCode

parent profile is fixed

Mark Yisri

good

didn't help

still the same error

but I have to do schoolwork now, so will have to come back later

bye

there's also the fact that it's suspended (for some reason) and that it doesn't have enough rep to chat
