@hichris123 Another use case for having SD Tracker always logged in to the Tavern: I can enter and leave unnoticed...
BTW let me know if you find anything particularly horrible in the code. I know the repo doesn't even have a config sample.
My primary reason for putting it on GH at all is that EC2 is, after all, virtual. I've been known to mess instances up before.
 
@404 Yeah... that part I guess I'll figure out. :P
 
404
Especially with the somewhat familiar module structure...
 
Flake has a lot of problems with it. :P
Probably quite a few are due to errors we exclude for Smokey, though.
 
2:42 AM
@404 How do I get an API token again? :/
 
404
@hichris123 From this URL after approving access; it will be in the hash. But you'll also need API key which I should have included in repo since it's public. A moment...
APIKey vURDLnkgkrLc7qAq)D89tA((
(Since the token has to match the API key of the application)
 
Quick & dirty, thanks.
@404 Makes sense... forgot since I don't play around with write access often. :P
 
[ SmokeDetector ] Few unique characters in answer, repeating characters in answer: trivial and non-trivial solution of homogeneous equation by user328372 on math.stackexchange.com

@hichris123 You may want to test that it works in the API console, e.g. api.stackexchange.com/docs/delete-comment

{
  "error_id": 407,
  "error_message": "You cannot delete this comment",
  "error_name": "write_failed"

Yep, works.
You forgot to include ChatExchange as a submodule, @404. :P

2:53 AM
s/forgot/have no idea how/
 
404
Also, I prefer not to make it too easy for someone to install and use this. It should require some thought...
 
Yeah, probably a good idea.
 
Whatcha making?
 
And I'm going to exclude ES from the sites list - so it doesn't auto-nuke stuff.
 
404
2:55 AM
Makes sense. As you may notice, SO is also excluded there. The check is based on quick drop in post score, which on SO can be due to massive downvotes.
 
Maybe Math should be excluded too? Or is that not as common?
 
404
Not as common. I don't know, there is so little spam there.
Could be excluded just in case.
 
I'll do that to be on the safe side.
Flake really doesn't like your files, by the way. Trailing whitespace... :P
 
flake is an equal-opportunity code hater.
 
Looks like it's working. Now to mess around with the Pi...
 
404
3:10 AM
A new RPi?
 
Yep. Just in case Undo's goes out. :P
 
oh nice
Then I won't feel as bad about having someone else run it.
 
Now I can record all sorts of fancy stats, too.
 
404
Like the number of posts read in a day.
 
Number of posts... read by whom/what?

@404 I was actually considering tracking that in MS
Sending hourly stats would work

Spam in user profile information: meta.stackexchange.com/users/309103/dorisnmjuriyam Should we try to get these users deleted?

@JeffreyBosboom There are more... google.com/…
Considering that meta.SE doesn't have mods other than employees, and the time of employees is spread thin, I wouldn't bother.
I think ^[a-z ]+juriya[a-z]?$ should be good enough.
The end is sometimes juriyam instead of juriya. But that's about it for variations.
To get spam profiles deleted, SE just needs to dial up their script removing abandoned accounts...

Hello @MsYvetteǝʇʇǝʌʎsW
 
Long time not seen
 
11:37 AM
yeh have a lot on my plate. My son is unwell in hospital and won't be out for a while
I like how quiet this room was, it seems to be getting more popular. shame.
 
I also liked the silent room more, I could turn on chat notifications for every message, but sometimes its to busy for that
 
hopefully people will lose interest and chat somewhere else and we can go back to peace and quiet
 
Im semi-here to stay
 
At least many of the recent conversations that happened here where on topic on smoke detector, I also try to actively clean smoke detector noise if we made a mistake that caused a lot of chat messages from him
 
@MsYvetteǝʇʇǝʌʎsW (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
 
11:44 AM
Yesterday there was a talk about the posts that had conflicting feedback, for example the self vandalism, and other types
 
it becomes exhausting, as it's splitting hairs at the end of the day. That's why I avoid SOCVR when I'm tired. Too much debate over the same o same o.
 
I'm too young to be exhausted by meta talk.
 
community moderation and accountability is a burning spotlight
 
this room is simply for reporting on SD and nothing else. There are plenty of places to discuss meta issues.
 
Smokedetector reporting was the first reason I came here
 
11:49 AM
the only reason ditto
 
later I learned how the code looked, and I started submitting pull requests for new spam domain blacklistings
 
@MsYvetteǝʇʇǝʌʎsW Well, I'm already present in many other chats, but . . . but I mean come on, we are chatting right now.
If people are talking, people are talking.
Unless you forbid it for some reason
 
Im in here mainly to mong flags
tons of flags
 
this is not my room, you can do as you please. It was dead quiet when I came in here and the owners and original members of the room are on topic chatters. Anyway I got to go. bye
 
@MsYvetteǝʇʇǝʌʎsW bye

@Undo What does actually happen at a backoff? Why does it happen?
 
The API tells us "you're asking for too much stuff too fast" and we say "okay sorry"

@Undo Weird. Usually only happens during server maintenance or when someone put in an expensive SQL query. :P

Never noticed that before.
 
xd
 
404
@Undo Will SOCVR meeting be about people keeping their SD privileges?
 
On an unrelated note... maybe we should track how long it takes for spam to be deleted.
 
@404 It's on their agenda thing
I'm tempted to just tell them that it's a Charcoal problem and not something for them to worry about
 
404
@hichris123 You are already doing that, but where to store the data?
 
4:45 PM
@404 metasmoke works.
 
it'd be nice if we had a giant database in the cloud...
 
404
Does SD spawn a separate thread to watch every post?
 
yes... :/
 
404
And what if it never gets deleted?
 
I don't exactly love the design, but it works.
 
4:46 PM
@404 I think it expires in five minutes
 
Yeah that ^
 
Can I be considered a member of the charcoal? I submitted multiple PR, helped many people and even ran smokey on my account when there was a problem
 
404
But spam may live much longer
 
@Ferrybig sure.
@404 That's where it gets tricky...
 
@Ferrybig yes, but that doesn't really mean anything
 
4:48 PM
But I've never cared about that part since it only matters within 5 minutes for Tavern reporting, and within 2 minutes for auto-deletion.
 
Cant we reuse the same websocket connection to monitor multiple questions?
 
No
Actually...
 
Wait, we can't?
I thought you could, but I just wanted a quick way to do this.
 
Yeah, that might work
Just send the question ID to the websocket. I doubt it's designed to handle that... but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
 
actually... that is a good idea.
We'd just have to have a worker queue type thing.
 
4:49 PM
@hichris123 Just keep the websocket for each site in globalvars, have a central watcher for all of them
Then you can send the message (maybe even synchronously) to the websocket right when we post to chat.
 
@Undo Oh, right, it's per site... :/
 
The only problem: can we unsubsribe a question, so we don't receive any more messages for it?
 
I don't think so.
 
@hichris123 meh, it's a maximum of 150-ish sockets. Fairly clean, especially if we can have it on a single watcher
@Ferrybig Not really an issue.
 
Maximum of 150 sockets, he says. That means 150 concurrent connections to SE. :P
