@ThomasWard That one is definite spam. The first paragraph is copy + pasted from some quora post.
Hey, on MS, on the autoflag conditions edit page, what is the significance of the TP/FP% bar there? Is that... all autoflags? The counts are # of posts? Or # of flags? Globally or is it related to the condition I'm viewing somehow?
@Undo By the way mostly non-latin characters skips the post if it has <code> in it and is on SO which seems problematic. Why not just strip the code blocks out?
Recently I came across a user on a site who:
Was affiliated with a product/service (according to their profile).
Was active on the site (i.e. clearly not a spam bot).
Edited mention of their product/service into other tag wikis (all of these were rolled back by me or others, these were clearly ...

On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 2 commits. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working directory clean
@Glorfindel I remember something about spam being self deleted and then undeleted. That doesn't come up on real-time, and could get through. I asked a chemistry mod what the deal is over there.
Any particular reason for that? I mean, usually it doesn't tell you more than the post/id page, but sometimes it's nice to see the feedback details in a grid instead of having to hover over all feedback symbols in the post/id page.

As number eleventh reviewer on the low quality queue, the behavior of teachers like this is counter productive because of the river of slime that rolls into stackoverflow from users who really have no business programming computers. We don't need more questions on why my code is throwing a null pointer exception.
@Magisch give me the email of the teacher spewing the nonsense that high reputation gets you a developer job. I have 54k. I can assure you the opposite is true. People see me helping others as a defection because I might leak intellectual property and is seen as a risk. You would think high reputation helps, but for me it hasn't made job hunting easier. Its made it something I have to justify.
Bot Census:
- Form filled out for 12 bots
- 9 Bots run under a dedicated account for the bot
- 10 bots require a reputation level of 20 (chat privileges), 2 require 50 (flagging privileges)
- Areas of SO the bots watch (with different activities performed in each):
- Questions
- Close Vote Reviews
- Comments
- Answers
- Chatroom
- Badges
I think this is the last room that was notified of the bot census. The idea behind this was to get a bit of information about what bots are watching SO/SE so that any future discussions about a unifying framework (mentioned in the SOBotics room meeting last week), would have an idea of what areas are already being monitored
@Glorfindel Cool. I'll have to fix that assumption in my post above then. Maybe those two bots post comments. I'll dig through the details instead of the summaries
@Andy I had a thought about that earlier - redunda could easily be used to enable inter-bot communication, if that would be useful. Websockets would make that easy.
