@ArtOfCode An additional confirmation prompt in FIRE when the post is eligible for autoflagging

speaking for myself, the handful of wrong spam flags I've had so far in the last half year or so were because FIRE is a one-click system, and the buttons are perilously close to each other :p
 
@ArtOfCode a) audits? B) Have people review where they have provided feedback one way but were then switched? Identify those cases for people & let/have them go through them?
 
@Magisch so... if the post is over 300 weight, remind the user that they need to be 110% sure?
 
@ArtOfCode yes
Might start to get old but when we're dealing with instanuking a post an additional check prompt shouldn't be too much to ask
 
6:02 AM
People will start clicking through that, but it's a good base... are there ways we can make that prompt more intelligent so that people don't click through?
 
My problem with FIRE is that even if you misclick once (like, oops I wanted to click NAA) it flags
right now that's not a problem much, I can go retract that
a prompt would allow me to "oh no I didn't want to do that" and click cancel
 
I would rather not do audits, but they would work.

So... The right way to solve that problem is to delay two flags until feedback from a known trusted user.
 
An extra confirm is easy to do. I've already put one such in place for confirming that someone wants to change their feedback. It'd be easy to key another one off of weight, or # autoflags & only require it when the post isn't closed yet.
 
Sockpuppetry concerns ignored, it'd work.
 
@Undo What is known trusted user for you?
I thought that was our threshold for handing out review privileges
 
Then you need to define "trusted"
 
6:06 AM
@Magisch Someone I trust. Metric TBD.
 
@Makyen A thought... If FIRE checked how many flags are already cast before it sent a flag, and prompted for confirmation if your flag would be the last one... would that work?
i.e. if there are 5 flags on the post already, auto or manual, and you're about to cast the last one, FIRE tells you to double check yourself.
 
Yeah. I was about to write exactly that. There would be race conditions... but it'd be an improvement.
 
JAD
can you see howmany flags there are though?
 
@Magisch I don't think a routine "are you sure" is going to stop anyone who has made up their mind already, it becomes a function of muscle memory very quickly if you flag more than occasionally
 
JAD
Or only see howmany were cast from MS?
 
6:07 AM
How about a fire config setting where it just prompts in general
 
@JAD Sort of. We know how many flags have been cast through Charcoal systems, which includes flags from FIRE (since they go through the MS API).
 
@tripleee It helps people with poor finger coordination like me though
 
@JAD We're talking 5-flag posts. If it's not deleted, you're the last flag.
 
But. This is not a problem that needs to be solved. We're trying to not make something bad happen when lightning strikes the same place twice in rapid succession. It's an honorable thing, but you've got to keep it in perspective.
 
or worst case disable FIRE from flagging if it is a deciding vote.. User needs to vote manually

* flag manually not vote to be clear.. wrong word
 
but the piling-on effect is real
 
Best to keep perspective here, we're talking about 0,25% of autoflagged posts where that mistake is even possible
 
@ArtOfCode 300 weight + fp + bad feedback
 
"oh this already got 5 flags so it must be spam, right?"
 
6:12 AM
Part of the problem is that there is informal competition between people in here to see who can flag/give feedback fastest. If we can reduce that, it would help.
 
@tripleee Real, yes, but we're talking about an insane edge case. I've caused far more damage in one mouse click on SO than this could in an unlucky year.
... and no one died over that.
 
realistically even if we get to this insane edge case (1/30k for someone to even get to make that mistake) and the mistake happens, then it's not unfixable
 
I'm just saying we're overreacting to the slim possibility that this ever happens. No need to complex-ify systems for that one thing.
 
@Makyen I think it's also conditioned by the posts being deleted so quickly -- even if there is no direct human competition the psychological mechanism to hurry to check before it's gone is going to be a driver for quick clicks
 
@Undo The general issue of people overzealous with flagging to the point where bhargav would flag ban them if possible is a concern though
 
6:14 AM
@Magisch This. I think less than 1/30k in reality; that fp was a long time ago.
 
Having people like that in our project gives us a bad name among mods

Charcoal doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to use your head. It's not a shield, and can't be used as one.
 
@tripleee I agree. That is one of the things that contributes to the "pressure" to act fast.
 
@AndrasDeak Well certain moderators on smaller sites do send a mod message to users who wrongly flag. But I think we shouldn't be going to that level. Charcoal must ensure that it doesn't go to such an extreme level. And no, mods can't add flag bans. If that was the case, I would have done that. — Bhargav Rao 6 hours ago
 
the discussion here should be "how do we police ourselves and especially the users who are perhaps too enthusiastic" regardless of the 5-flag proposal
 
@Undo Yes, but as members of charcoal we have higher expectations from mods not to misuse our flagging hard
 
6:16 AM
Anyway, gotta go to bed. Evening.
 
If a random user is very trigger happy with flags then that's their problem and their flag accept rate down the toilet, if a charcoal member does it it reflects badly on all of us
 
more than that; the nature of our project is attracting them to us so we can't just shrug and pretend it's somebody else's problem

@K.Dᴀᴠɪs Stop/scold/educate would require disclosure privately to the user, not publicly. Disclosure publicly that you're not the user gives people additional information to others about who the user might be (e.g. then the next person asks, etc. By the process of elimination you know who it was). Thus, they can't disclose publicly that you are, because then a refusal to disclose is disclosing that you're not.
 
@Makyen Makes sense
 
@Glorfindel I hope it's not me. On SO I have only 2 retracted spam flags, one from 2016 and one from mid 2017
 
@SmokeDetector cant print certain unicode chars..
 
Also, retracting flags/changing feedback after seeing another user's response to the post, especially in your first phases of Charcoal, is to be expected. I haven't checked but I'm quite sure it happened to me as well in the past. If you don't make mistakes, you can't learn from them. We just need to make sure that this education process doesn't interfere with accidentally nuking a post (though I expect BR's example to have happened on a non-autoflagged post).
It's one of the reason for this feature request to increase the # of reviews needed.

@undo Perhaps we should add an additional role, or at least use "core". Unless the user has the role, that is in addition to "reviewer", then spam-flag MS API action taken on 5-flag posts doesn't actually result in a flag being cast. There's nothing that can be done about the user actually going to the post and manually casting a flag, but we could not facilitate that through the tools (e.g. FIRE, review, i.e. the MS API).

JAD
(of course that's no guarantee)
 
what is that? Isn't MS simply fetching ALL posts and count them?
 
do you vary blacklists by site? E.g. blacklisting Viagra everywhere except Health or other sites where it could appear legitimately?
 
Also, I don't think you can get as precise as 0.05% from only 1000 posts.
@MadScientist That's be applied manually
@MadScientist We do have a special list excluding health-related sites already.
 
8:22 AM
does the autoflagging work for users with more than 1 rep?
 
@MadScientist For a limited number of things, yeah
 
@MadScientist We have exclusive blacklisting
 
@MadScientist sometimes
 
@MadScientist yes, if people choose to have that
 
@MadScientist Depends on the conditions. In theory, yes. In practice, to save your conditions, they still need to be 99,75% accurate
 
8:22 AM
Flagging conditions are set around three values: minimum cumulative weight, minimum reason count, and maximum author reputation
 
The combination of these have to have at least 99,75% historical accuracy to be valid
 
and that 99.75% has to be over a sample of at least 1000 posts
 
You can save any settings, be it valid or not. But you can only enable those with over 99.75%
 
In practice, most people (I assume) have their settings set to max user rep of 1
 
@ArtOfCode Can we change that percentage to flooring? i.e. Don't display 99.746% as 99.75% for me
 
8:25 AM
@Magisch most people on the list at the moment used OCS, which sets you up to 280/1/1
 
That's an insconsistent rounding setting in MS.

@iBug probably not, but I'm gonna leave it unless I'm doing stuff round that anyway. A couple extra points on min weight isn't a bad thing to be encouraging.
 
@ArtOfCode I've been mulling over Bhargav's comment with the "trigger happy" user on our meta post
 
but then why do we use flooring on reason weights?
 
8:29 AM
@Glorfindel yup, signed up with email and immediately got redirected to auth, so they must've authed then
 
Maybe we need a process for site moderators to talk to the users / us about that
 
@iBug makes reasons seem worse than they are rather than better
@Magisch there is one, it's called a mod message
and if it gets to that then we have issues
 
@ArtOfCode It already got past that. Bhargav said if mods could flag ban people by hand, he would have
 
@ArtOfCode It's called a mocked message :P
 
Remember that autoflagging aims for no false positives, not necessarily as many posts as we can get.
 
8:30 AM
@ArtOfCode so, how does that work if a post is eligible for spam flags with lower settings, but not higher ones. Are all users that have higher settings filtered out and the flaggers chosen from the remainder?
 
In other words, it's gotten to the point where a moderator would have flag banned one of our members if it was possible
 
@MadScientist yes.
 
That reads like an indictment of our process
 
@MadScientist yeah, effectively
 
So in practice, if you're on the lower end of the settings, you could have an autoflag accuracy of less than 99.75%.
 
8:31 AM
so, in reality the effective setting is the lowest one chosen by any three users now?
 
@MadScientist At least 99,75% yeah
 
@ArtOfCode What does this mean?
 
@MadScientist that is the point at which we would cast 3 flags on a post, yes
 
Thats why we impose the "minimum" floor of 99,75% accuracy. But indivduals can decide they only want to be involved in more "sure" things
 
> a policy that is at least 99.75% accurate over a sample of 1000 posts.
 
8:32 AM
@iBug if your condition doesn't match at least 1000 posts historically it won't be let through
 
@iBug e.g. you can't specify a condition for a small site only, the sample size is just too low.
 
Understood
 
@ArtOfCode If I read your comment and bhargav's comment right, then this is something we need to address in the long run.
