@Mithrandir Hmmm, that didn't happen in Star Wars.
 
BTW @Henders I may have skewed the flag stats on Pets.SE yesterday
 
@Mithrandir Really? Doesn't look like that :P
 
@Tschallacka I happened to notice your comment here. Would you mind not adding to the plague of answers in comments on IPS? Thanks

yesterday, by Cerbrus
If your autoflagging was disabled, update your flagging conditions here. Your conditions should have a min. accuracy of 99.75%
@Mithrandir Haha, that makes sense. I didn't see any of them but they're all dealt with anyway :P
 
Thanks! I can't see the starboard; I'm currently on a small device.
 
@AshishAhuja Yeah, the star board wouldn't have helped anyway because it was destroyed by a good conversation yesterday evening :P
 
That moment you revisit your code that you started for a fresh project 3 years ago and you think, what was I thinking at that time. Feels like a time capsule
 
Hmm, is anyone else getting a MySQL error on MS while trying to edit an old flagging condition?

@AshishAhuja forgot to mention, MS is out of disk space at the moment and everything is borked. You'll have to try again a bit later when Undo has fixed it

OK, it seems this meta post had more exposure than the previous ones, hence the "Oh Emm Gee WTF is Smokey" comments
Why though? Because of the time of year?
 
From what it's looking like right now the discussion people are having about the meta post isn't should we do 5 flags or not, a great many people are saying charcoal alltogether is a bad idea
That is disappointing

Fear of the unknown
 
@SmokeDetector would you shut up about that?
 
10:39 AM
and many people will follow what is the "popular opinion"
 
@SmokeDetector I edited it, but it's still VLQ by Puzzling.SE standards
 
I count 130 new MS users since the post
Probably a lot of those people didn't even upvote the meta discussion
 
and don't forget, there are a lot of people hesistant about automatic descision making and they are very wary about the consequenses. Now the spam, tomorrow the world.
 
BUT, still pretty positive feedback
@Tschallacka it's because they see the numbers, but don't feel them.
 
irrational fears, they are the worst, and they urge the loudest screamers to call, and cause the timid supporters to stay silent not to get sucked into a troll fight
 
10:42 AM
They haven't seen the obvious Pharma spam, and when you talk about automation, they immediately think about it going wrong in an ontopic post
 
The link that links to the posts page should be placed more prominent so people can examine for themselves what gets filtered out
for most users spam simply doesn't exist because it gets deleted so fast
 
Not realizing how different normal spam is from legit posts
Hence the backlash
 
that meta smoke helps with that speed doesn't occur to them.
you could just turn it off and let the spam drown them so they can see the help it provides
 
K, I gotta ask. Did you have a previous username @Tschallacka?
Or are you new to Charcoal?
 
@Magisch honestly I wonder what would happen if @Undo did turn on that 6-flags on SO thing and people found out about it

I might adjust my teasing settings

I did have it was my actual natural name
but I changed it to my online persona like 2 years ago
I'm new to charcoal but i've been on stack overflow for a while
 
@M.A.R. that would be fun
 
and I've known about metasmoke for a while :-)

@Tschallacka Depends what the source is. The blacklists we have are very much tailored to the spam we see on Stack Exchange - every entry on there has been seen in SE spam at some point. We tend to try to keep to those rather than pre-emptively blacklisting.

@Glorfindel I don't think this is the problem of smokey, I think MS has problems receiving the pings of smokey depending on the other background tasks that are running at the moment, causing some internal processes to throw an internal server error on the pings, and that causes missed smokey pings, hence MS thinking a smokey instance is offline, and booting up another copy
