indeed.

On a different note: what's with no spam during the daytime?

Normal

I don't know, but yesterday balpha dropped into the Tavern and paid some attention to Smokey reports. Coincidence?

hichris123

perhaps.

Normal

There is generally a pause in SE activity around the turn of UTC day. And no spam.

hichris123

And on a different different note: thanks @Normal for adding stuff to Smokey's blacklist. I'll try and help if you need it... I know it isn't fun to be working on something alone.

And on a different different different note:

Normal

So, the string is unicode but writing into file requires us to choose an encoding.

hichris123

yeah.

But what even is users.txt?

Normal

The blacklist?

hichris123

no, that's blacklisedUsers.txt.

Oh, it's for github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/blob/master/…

Normal

Well, users.txt is never being read from, so the only explanation is that @Undo uses it for some sinister purpose.

hichris123

12:12 AM

sinister = check if the users went poof

@Undo do you still use that? ^

Normal

Since the file keeps all reports, true and false, including all-caps and whatnot, checking all those users must be tedious.

Might as well ask, what was the goal of Thermite/Charcoal (neither are loading, and the readmes are lacking details)?

Normal

Thermite is supposed to batch-flag at some intervals to annoy mods less.

I.e., given a bunch of things to flag, will do it gradually.

Kevin Brown

I thought that was Wildfire?

Normal

Okay, then I have no idea.

hichris123

2:17 AM

@KevinBrown ~~Thermite was to give additional details in flags (since flags are limited to 500? characters, there's not a lot of room for links).~~ I'm wrong. I don't even remember what Thermite was. Oh right, batch fetching of SO comments w/ regexes to identify horrid comments.

Charcoal was for identifying comments to be flagged.

Unfortunately... it kinda stopped.

A user annoyed mods with it, who complained to CMs, and the CMs said 'please stop for now'. So we did.

I processed comments 359 days out of the year. I missed three in January due to stopping it after a mass decline of flags (more later), I can't account for a missed day in July and August. I don't recall stopping it, but I missed July 3rd and August 19. I also missed December 28th due to a power issue.

I flagged 35,960 comments. Of that, 111 were declined

The spike in November was due to new moderators coming on board. I didn't see the spike in the April election which is interesting, but after a couple days in November it's back to normal.

After that January incident I made three changes that improved accuracy/acceptance of flags:

1.) Changed it to only look at comments that were 48 hours old. Previously it'd been more recent. The 48 hours was decided after talking to the SO mods.

2.) Retrained the model more frequently to use newer comments and to more quickly learn from mistakes.

3.) Adjusted internal thresholds in the script for when it'd consider a comment for flagging

I'm just going to put this out here - pejorative jabs at us doing minimally intrusive things to ensure that we succeed as a company and continue to provide these sites absolutely free have the strange side effect of us tending not to bother listening to constant sources of noise.

I have a potential feature request/idea, but have a question first. The tp/fp reports that smokey receives, these are stored in a database somewhere, correct?

Assuming it is, would it make sense to move the rules themselves to a database? Since they are almost all regexes, we could simply store the regex in a database table. The benefit is that Smokey doesn't need a new commit every time the regex changes. It would need a way to be signaled that one has been added/edited/deleted, but it saves the commit/build/pull/restart that is required when a rule is modified

@Andy Yes, those go directly to MetaSmoke database. There is a difference in that Undo is the only one who runs MetaSmoke; unlike SmokeDetector which ProgramFOX hosts in his absence.

Another thing is that many additions (at least by me) are modifications to existing regexes, which require digging into the code anyway. For example, there is a pretty big regex for spam domain which is of the form (word from set 1)(whatever)(word from set 2)(whatever.tld) It's quite effective for detecting new spam sites, but adding new options to it is something that shouldn't be done blindly, from chat.

@Normal Huh. I wonder why he left.

I'm mostly curious because I applied for that position too

Normal

So you got lucky and he didn't.

Andy

Or he found something even better.

Normal

Possibly, but when that happens, people are usually quicker to update their CV with the new job.

Andy

True.

If we wanted to, we could probably catch all the same spam and reduce false positives by inspecting only the first... 500 character of the post, and the last 500.

And that's pretty generous, could be 200.

There doesn't seem to be a real need for this, just mentioning.

@Normal yay

@Normal Yeah. Though I may be annoyed with some changes SE is making, this I have no qualms with. I saw some of the comments he was referring to, one was on how this is for investors. And while that might be true... ads are the primary source of income.

Normal

Actually, I'd like to know that, out of curiosity. Are they really? Surely it's their private thing, but it'd be interesting to know where the main income comes from.

(a) Careers > 2*Ads; or (b) Ads > 2*Careers; or (c) neither, they are about the same.

hichris123

@Andy Quite interesting, thanks. Are you focusing on rude/abusive, or obsolete?

@Normal I don't think they'd answer that, but it would be interesting.

Normal

Seems obsolete, otherwise mods would not want him to wait 48 hours.

hichris123

It's not a 48 hour delay, I thought. Just that his model is looking at comments from the past 48 hours?

Normal

18 hours ago, by Andy

1.) Changed it to only look at comments that were 48 hours old. Previously it'd been more recent. The 48 hours was decided after talking to the SO mods.

"Previously it'd been more recent." => 48 is a lower bound for age
