@paper1111 It's Makyen's fault.
 
@tripleee I can't find it either. Since it has caused an autoflagging FP, it's probably worth debugging with a local Smokey instance (which I don't have).
 
@paper1111 good work!
 
Thanks! That's indeed the troll filter I suspected.
 
12:30 PM
@Glorfindel any insight into what that's supposed to catch?
 
@tripleee IIRC that was something related to a troll a long time ago.
 
It's some wingdingy thing
 
@AshishAhuja I'm looking at the hits now, it's looking like it could be tightened up a fair deal
my proposal would be b\W?o\W?j\W?i etc

And the question was "I have prank on my friend that i wanna run in background (program lang C++). Post all the diffrent ways you can make program run in background with C++."
So potentially just a misguided user

@Magisch I watched The Theory of Everything.
A biography on Stephen Hawking.
 
Some friends and I made our first steps on a D&D 4e campaign. (It's the first time we've played D&D in years, since we've mostly moved onto different games that better suit the kinds of stories we want to tell.) Also I finished Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood again, and played a bunch of borderlands.

@Magisch good
I know a user from M&TV who was involved in serial voting. When he was suspended a couple of times for that, he unupvoted all his posts via a sock account. I noticed that pattern and thought that someone else is unupvoting, so I brought to mod attention. However, I realized it later that it was one of his socks when he was suspended again. Currently he is serving a year long suspension.

Time to set my weight over 200
 
1:58 PM
Single occurrence. I'm inclined to ignore it.
Root cause analysis would be awesome, but... Ya know, don't go overhauling the system because someone managed to hit the odds once in two years
 
@CalvT븃 we should be open about this and use it as an argument to not set the threshold too low
 
Hmm... how often should it actually happen, according to statistics?
 
The risk of auto flagging is that the flags are the users responsibility
 
@tripleee Fully agree on the second point - just I can see one of those SFF guys grabbing it and making a big thing of it
I'm all for openess
 
I think the flag warning and ban thresholds are 10% and 25% of your flags declined over the last $timescale.

Shog9Update: Kevin Montrose makes it happen The hell-ban is no more! Long live the verbose, obnoxiously evident ban! Kevin has implemented (more or less) the system described below. Flaggers with a recent (past 7 days) flagging history consisting of at least 10 handled flags where >= 10% of flags we...

 
according to my Fermi estimate, three consecutive FPs at 99.76% TP rate should happen every once in 0.5 billion flags
 
So 10% and 25% of at least 10 over 7 days.

@Undo Here's a root-cause analysis: Fairly few people have autoflag thresholds below 200. Fairly few people can thus be hit by posts that hit only a bad keyword in body and title. Thus the declined autoflags tend to concentrate on those
6
 
@Magisch There we go
 
2:03 PM
I'm gonna set mine over 200
Every single autoflag FP i've ever had was exactly this
 
I never changed the default
 
May or may not be worth adding a few words to that effect in the disclaimer... "Selecting low thresholds will result in your account being significantly more prone to false positives, do so at your own risk."
Kinda covered by the existing to an extent, though
 
How about we just disallow thresholds under 200

I'm apparently no longer part of the core group, so it is less likely to choose my flags
 
2:05 PM
@Magisch status-declined
 
When we eventually go to 5 autoflags having that riding just on a bad keyword might be a little on the nose
 
Nope, not how it works
 
depends on which bad keyword
 
5 flags will never ride on 2 reasons. It'll have a higher accuracy threshold
 
Are we enforcing more accuracy on 5?
 
2:06 PM
speaking of which, should different bad keywords have separate weights?

seems very spammy
 
@Magisch The best protection against that is basically !!/stopflagging, if this ever comes up, going to github, and removing the malicus entry is too slow (because CI) and still gives power to the attacker
 
@WELZ Indeed, commented on the first question
 
@Ferrybig Yes, but the argument is that for someone to add a malicious entry they'd either have to be a code admin, or have their entry approved by a code admin
 
2:11 PM
Restart: API quota is 9492.
 
And code admin is granted manually, after the admins think you need it, and trust you with it
 
@CalvT븃 My worry is that a code admin doesn't realize that <word> is a common word in <language> and nearly everything on that language site gets covered in three flags each
 
@CalvT븃 Or have their account hacked by a zero day attack in spam post (maybe I an thinking to much in the "what-if" situations now, but seeing our security from an attackers point of view might give us steps to increase it)
 
@JohnDvorak That's why we watch before blacklisting.
 
@JohnDvorak In general when I watch/bl anything, I search it on MS and on SE.
 
2:13 PM
Doesn't this look like a spam seed? It's the question that attracted that last spam answer.
 
@CalvT븃 true. But what if <site> launches after the code change?
 
@JohnDvorak That's why we do a SE-wide search first.
@JohnDvorak Then it can be reverted
 
Yep, but until then...
 
The best case is if we can automate the watch -> blacklist process, then maybe have some sort of process based on the same thing where it reverts to watch after x consecutive fps

2:16 PM
Maybe require a quick scan of existing posts on a site after it's released from private beta before autoflagging is allowed for it?
 
I'm sure MS could handle a script that generates a score for each watch and blacklist based on tps vs fps, and then moves them about based on those scores
 
Just in case some common phrase on that site happens to trip up a bad keyword
 
2:37 PM
@Ferrybig Now we're getting into fairytale land
That would require:
- A spammer to know of us (maybe)
- That spammer having a really high desire to shut us down (lol no)
- That spammer at the same time having access to zero day exploits (LOL NO)
- That spammer taking the time to learn about our blacklisting process to find something to do with a CA's MS or SE account (You wish)

Wow, so I really was unlucky. I don't have core currently
How was I picked three times in a day
 
@quartata Because you're one of the few people who have a weight <200 set
Which is where most FPs happen
 
More importantly, you're one of the very few non-core people with a weight lower than the default, so you're getting picked on a high proportion of the non-core flags below 280.
 
2:46 PM
@quartata Because you are one of 2 eligible for 194
 
Compare: quartata vs 478
 
Statistically, thats the only way to get autoflag FPs with any regularity
 
Can regular users see other users flagging preferences/conditions, or is that reserved to admins?
 
Currently admins only, but I'm not treating it like sensitive information
will happily give out details if you want 'em
 
Maybe you can make it a privilege (maybe part of core) so that I can snoop on everyone, duh!
