Hello

I recently devised a SEDE script that I use on Stack overflow to flag occurences of Serial upvoting that it detects weekly. I usually manually go through the results and flag where I see something I strongly suspect of being serial voting

On stack overflow, this leads to around 50-90 custom flags a week, but on SU I suspect it would be much fewer then that, at least after the first week or two.

I'd like to expand this to flag on SU as well, and @JourneymanGeek told me to notify everyone first and ask for opinions. I want to avoid posting this on meta as details about dealing with serial voting on meta may give the perpetrators information on how to evade detection, or lead to unnecessary witch hunting

So far, on Stack overflow, all of my flags regarding serial voting have been helpful, so I'm reasonably confident that my accuracy on those is fairly high

@Magisch wouldn't mind seeing that query to be honest. Might be worth sending direct to the SE CM team too.

@Mokubai has already been forwarded to SE staff

@Mokubai data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/712810/… this is the query

Set the sensitivity to ~800 for best results on super user

@Magisch - Attempted to run the query and it just complained and failed to run.

@Magisch Returned 72 rows looking back 800 days. Is this the result you expected?

@bwDraco I just get an error when I run it what did you do to get it to run?

Logged in, used 800 for the first variable.

lol, i am not logged in thats why

@bwDraco Possibly needs some more tweaking, but it's about what I was thinking yeah

Will probably turn into a couple cases a month
