@zaq do you know whether smokey needs room ownership to run properly?
 
zaq
It doesn't. It only needs to be able to post.
 
i.e. 20 rep
Cool
 
zaq
That or explicit write access, which undo would give to it as needed.
Since Smokey doesn't really participate in Q&A, the latter option is what is used.
 
@zaq Smokey does have rep on SO, so technically it would work on chat.SE/chat.SO without any special perms. But chat.MSE is the odd one out there.
 
zaq
Ah. I saw explicit write access here and thought it was indeed needed.
 
1:49 AM
Hmm, no, wonder why it was added there... probably just to be on the safe side or something.

Q: Are we interested in getting spam reports to our chatroom?

angussidneyOver at Charcoal HQ, we run a headless chatbot called SmokeDetector which detects spam from across the entire SE network. It posts all spam reports to the Charcoal HQ chatroom and some site-specific reports to various other chatrooms on the network. According to our statistics, Arqade is the 7th...

 
@undo Any reason why github.com/Charcoal-SE/metasmoke/commit/… can't be reverted?
 
@angussidney you might want to put a link in "our statistics" linking to it.
afk for a min
 
@angussidney Are you a Bridge regular? If so, I'd suggest just asking. If not... well, I wouldn't be surprised if the answer turns out to be no.
 
2:10 AM
No, I'm not really
 
zaq
@hichris123 In principle, the answer to "do we want a spam-reporting bot" shouldn't depend on the person asking...
 
@zaq Right, but I'm saying unless the Bridge has been approached about this prior and seemed receptive, and/or knew about it prior... the chances of wanting a bot to post spam in a room is rather slim.
In fact, I might suggest just asking outright in chat. Chat regulars might not participate on meta much.
 
zaq
And meta regulars might not care about chat.
 
@zaq the meta regulars on arqade do care about chat
Hey, it can't hurt to ask
 
zaq
Oh, but on Stack Exchange it can...
 
2:16 AM
One upvote, good start :P
 
2:35 AM
@hichris123 It could be, but it won't do anything. I've got to do a little more surgery there.
 
Oh, okay. I'm letting you deal with it; I'd probably break something if I tried. :P
 
kk. The only reason it won't do anything is that I also removed the thing that records CommitStatuses. I'm tempted to do it on the Smokey end
Although that's kinda ugly too. Meh, we can do it at metasmoke

@angussidney [:31677338] That message is not a report.
 
@SmokeDetector f
 
Why is there "MS" before the report?
 
Like this? [ SmokeDetector | MS ]
 
5:04 AM
Yup
 
Because if it is like that, then it means that the new message format has been implemented
instead of an elipsis at the end of the message (which can be chopped off by chat controls so you cant click it) they moved an MS to the start of the report

@zaq I submitted a pull to fix the parsing in spamtracker, it seems to work based on manual calling of the methods, there isn't enough spam today to test them live

@Ferrybig Thanks. I added a tweak, making | MS part optional (it may be omitted to keep the message under 500 chars, and is absent from allspam reports which do not register in MS)

@ByteCommander Because its only for reports that connect to metasmoke

On non-report messages, it's not there
 
Oh. Duh. Stupid me... >.<
 
zaq
I suppose we could put it everywhere, just linking to MS front page... but maybe that's more confusing.
 
I mean we could send every pull to metasmoke too, but it would be completely pointless :)
 
2:55 PM
It would make no sense there, I think.
 
@ByteCommander I always mistake your avatar as a dancing fish
 
o.O
It's a wolf tattoo.
 
yes, but as a small image it look like a fish dancing on it's tail. I like the image
 
Hmm...
 
;)
 
2:57 PM
It needs much fantasy to see a fish there IMHO.
 
nice tattoo, much nicer than mine
 
Well, I don't have that as real tattoo, I just stole the image from deviantart ;)
A link to the original is somewhere in my About me section.
 
it's a nice piece of art work, it would take a skilled tattoo artist to make it nice on the human body
