But there is a userscript by Henders which makes a sound effect whenever any post is reported, which is useful

@DavidPostill Yeah... a request has to be made from your browser to MS to smokey to SE to MS before it can make it into the MS DB, so I don't think that we can beat SE if you flagged it directly :)

Henders

And in the future, I intend to allow you to pick which sites it makes the sound for based on the suggestions by everyone here :)

@SmokeDetector So 2 spams ==> automatic question block. I have nuked the spammer.

Gypsy Spellweaver

@tripleee That could be good for some of the lighter sites I'm on. SU and SO don't need much help, from the looks of it.

Gypsy Spellweaver

@tripleee The only room I regularly go to is RootAccess. Went to some other room for a reason, neither room nor reason remains in my memory :/, then came here from RootAccess when I asked too many questions about the spam account I found in startups. "Post in there" I was told.

I'm guessing that SO and AU have enough firefighters that my help would be minimal. OTOH some of the smaller/beta sites I go to may not get much spam, but seem like they could use an ear to smokey.

Ashish Ahuja

Though always use a regex while blacklisting websites

Cerbrus

@JanDvorak Eh, screenshot?

Henders

@ArtOfCode Because it only processes one at a time so if multiple spam posts come in at once you can store more in the queue?

Jan Dvorak

9:49 AM

Also correction: it's 860px

ArtOfCode

@Henders not quite. We see every new and updated post, as you know. But there are ~100k of those every day, and we only have ~~10k~~ 20k API requests per day - so we have to bundle multiple posts into a single API request. That's what the queues do - store posts until we have enough to warrant firing an API request.

With more quota, we don't have to bundle so many into each request, so we fire requests more frequently and time to report goes down.

angussidney

@Henders basically, we have to review over 100 000 posts a day, but we only have a quota of 20 000 requests, which isn't enough to grab each post individually, so we have a 'queue' which the posts sit in, and when that queue gets to a certain number we make a request to get all of those posts from the SE API. Then we scan them.

@Andy Yeah, and the only reason it hasn't caused bugs is Thomas' convert-back-to-dict code

@ArtOfCode That's still almost a month old

ArtOfCode

For that call not to have caused a crash every time it runs, which is often, it must have been operating on a list. For the code further up that method, it must have been operating on a dict for it not to have crashed every time. Something is messing with the type.

@SmokeDetector This user post the same spam post on each site moving on to another when they are deleted. Anyway we can knock this on the head?

quartata

@ArtOfCode I assume you want dict.update

ArtOfCode

I'm guessing it's L268 that's messing with types

@quartata as opposed to list.extend, yes

well, dict.copy().update() actually, but semantics

quartata

1:27 PM

ew gross copy

ArtOfCode

...

Andy

makes sense. It's set as a list here

quartata

Why is the copy necessry? list.extend doesn't make a copy last I checked

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector ] SmokeDetector started at rev 46bb77f (ArtOfCode: I guess we don't technically need to copy) (running on ArtOfCode/EC2)

Andy

explodes

ArtOfCode

1:36 PM

@quartata copy avoids overwriting the original, but I guess we wanted to do that

SmokeDetector

Restart: API quota is 11989.

ArtOfCode

@Andy with any luck, hopefully not

Okay, looking stable. No errors yet, anyway, and that method has been called multiple times

@ThomasWard I killed Aurora off in the process of debugging that, but it can come back (at the latest revision) now if you want

Well it's got stuff

Why exactly was this not causing a problem before? I'm kind of confused

ArtOfCode

1:39 PM

it's okay, so am I

I have no idea why it wasn't; probably some combination of Thomas' type-conversion code and luck

@CalvT I still can't figure out how to get that to work.

Should we disable mostly dots in answer? Body and title are fine but answer is just reeling in NAAs

It is catching some vandalism that wouldn't be caught otherwise but ehhhh

@Mithrandir That's done by import/export at the bottom of the popup

Could be done with a default scope-type thing, maybe

Looks like them trying to bump their question.

They made a one-character no-improvement edit to the question and then posted that.
