@iBug yes.

@ByteCommander What twice?
 
Twice?
 
I time travelled to make it respond to the original message
 
10:07 AM
Oh Mith edited the watch message
 
Of course, we're expected to outright delete NAA/VLQ posts instead of flagging them, but we still flag spam & rude/abusive.
 
@Glorfindel So whatever you flag is immediately helpful?
 
It auto-watched the keyword, restarted, then replied to that same command that the pattern already gets caught.
 
@iBug no. If I flag something as NAA on Ask Diffferent, another mod can decline the flag.

@AJ congrats.. That was the first gold badge I got in SO
 
Still stands - Smokey just still has his hangover from a major New Years party so is a bit slow atm :P
A question from that github issue - does Smokey report if it gets the "Could not find data for this post in the API" message?
Because just wondering if the issue is that the post isn't appearing on the API until after Smokey has requested details about it

@CalvT븃 It reports whenever the data is False, so it could be that the post is not in items returned by the API (May be deleted) or if an error has been reported by the API (See the list of the errors at api.stackexchange.com/docs/errors#filter=default&run=true)

Just in case, here's what I understand Smokey does. Scans the new questions page on the SE site, and grabs ids for each. Then batch requests a bunch of ids from the API. If an id is not found on the API, just ignores it and carries on?
Is that correct?
 
Smokey grabs new posts via feed (RSS?)/
 
12:09 PM
Nah
It uses the websocket
Then batch fetches from the API
 
no, via an API websocket
or something
what ^he said
 
@CalvT븃 sounds about right
yeah, same websocket that feeds the realtime questions page
 
Ok thanks
 
Also it's the real-time tab on the SE. They're not necessarily new questions I think
 
Yup that's what I meant
Bad wording
Ok, so it does support my idea - that the reason Smokey is missing posts is because they are being requested before the API has them
Not sure if it makes sense or not but anyway

So unless Smokey and I get served different responses, we can't blame the API.
 
One interesting fact is that we get rather few spams on Saturday.
 
That's Sunday because of the UTC offset.

yes.

Q: What's with the amount of spam here?

Jan DoggenOver at least the last half year I noticed spam popping up here, that I do not see on the other 15-20 SE sites that I visit (with the same frequency). What makes Astronomy.se different? More spam, Bayesian filters not effective in relation to the subjects, not enough human eyes?

 
@SmokeDetector k
 
@Glorfindel Ask Different managed to get half as SO's spam with only a thirtieth traffic as SO.

Can we raise the threshold for autoflagging on religional sites?
 
@Federico @doppelgreener @quartata You may want to retract your flags
@iBug It's 280 on all, but some users set their personal preference to lower
 
Maybe someone could write a script for some basic fun.
Like calculating Spam/Traffic rate for top 20 spammed sites.
I somehow think Astronomy would be the #1.
 
@SmokeDetector @doppelgreener @Federico @quartata false autoflag again. Please retract if you manage to in time.
 
12:44 PM
Maybe we can have someone go and leave a comment to excuse.
 
Oh, you pinged them already... meh, doesn't hurt
 
Before them 3 come online and retract the bad flags
I don't feel like creating a profile on that site because I think it'd be useless for me.
