Can we switch TV in a username from a blacklist to a watch?

Good idea

Except we can't watch just usernames -- we'd have to add a new rule (not hard, just more involved than adding to watched_keywords.txt)

ArtOfCode

two things

WELZ

@SmokeDetector poof

ArtOfCode

(a) yes, Smokey's using a bad filter

WELZ

is this related to the changes in API?

ArtOfCode

(b) I think I've found a source of the frequent MS slowdowns... it's AIM

yes

@Glorfindel If I make /api/v2.0/posts/:id/reasons accept a list of IDs instead of just one, could AIM use that instead of requesting one-by-one?

Glorfindel

7:36 PM

@ArtOfCode well, it's the API v2.0 redesign. I've .... ehm .... warned that it would increase the # of calls from AIM (and other scripts).

Filnor

@ArtOfCode Does that mean I should NOT create an issue on GH? Or should I?

Glorfindel

Actually, the 'expand all reasons' functionality from AIM isn't working ATM.

So I can just remove the calls as well, I guess.

ArtOfCode

@Glorfindel Aye, I know you did, I'm not blaming you for it :)

Makyen

It would help significantly if all of: /api/v2.0/posts/:id/reasons, /api/v2.0/feedbacks/post/:id and /api/v2.0/posts/:id/flags (and elsewhere, but those primarily) accepted a list of IDs. Basically, the switch from V1.1 to 2.0 changed a single fetch of /api/posts/ to potentially hundreds of individual calls to the above endpoints.

Glorfindel

^ +1

ArtOfCode

7:38 PM

@Filnor no issue for now

Filnor

ok

Glorfindel

I can switch off the calls to /reasons right now, if that helps.

ArtOfCode

if they're not doing anything, that'd be useful, cheers

@thesecretmaster Do you happen to still have the load-test script you wrote for SCOT?

Glorfindel

@ArtOfCode wait, it's calling /reasons twice; once for the function I mentioned and once for the total weight. The total weight is definitely useful to display.

ArtOfCode

aye

one of those calls could go, though

Makyen

7:43 PM

It would also help if there was some way to provide a list for /api/v2.0/posts/uid/:api_param/:native_id, because the change in SD report format results in moving from a single call with a list URLs to individual calls for each /uid/:api_param/:native_id (again, potentially a large number). One can get around that by scraping the URL out of the rest of the SD report, but it effectively makes the new SD report URL format and /api/v2.0/posts/uid/:api_param/:native_id not nearly as useful.

@ArtOfCode Oh I forgot. I'll also need to change the filter to autoflagged?

ArtOfCode

Makyen

7:56 PM

In general, it's a bad idea to change the @name or @namespace for a userscript. The userscript managers use that to determine if it's the same script. Changing those will break the script's auto-updating in most userscript managers and can result in the script being installed multiple times.

quartata

Does this make sense? meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/367499/…

doppelgreener

@Catija it makes sense but not knowing much about slack integrations that sounds weird as heck

Catija

I think that's sort of my hope... that this would get turned into some sort of FAQ about how the Slack integration is supposed to work.

doppelgreener

either there's a big misunderstanding on your part about the scope of what integrations really mean, or something is really weird in stack exchange's handling & presentation of them

(and i don't know enough about them to know if it's the first or the second)

Catija

Yeah... and Art seems to see the integration stuff differently than I do, which is why I thought that it was private to me.

angussidney

10:49 PM

I have no idea how this all works, but my best guess is that the slack integration pipes new SE activity into a chatroom on your company's slack team. So it makes sense that others can see it.

Catija

But there's no indication on the Notifications page in your profile that everyone will be able to see it.

ArtOfCode

11:08 PM

Very theoretical question: If we had access to private information about spammers (think IPs and emails)... could we do anything with it?

NobodyNada

@ArtOfCode Blacklisting is the first thing that comes to mind

WELZ

we could spam them (emails)

NobodyNada

@WELZ that's...probably illegal

WELZ

We could get them to install a RAT and then destroy their machine.

ArtOfCode

Okay, let me qualify that: could we do anything productive and intelligent with it?

Catija

11:13 PM

@WELZ Can you still see the Slack integration?

WELZ

@Catija yep

Should I try deleting it?

ArtOfCode

Blacklisting is great and all, but (a) it has privacy concerns, and (b) it's entirely reactive; ideally we'd want something more like pattern-matching (or hopefully even more intelligent) so that we can be more proactive.

Catija

Even after refreshing? Maybe caching... Hmmm.

@WELZ No? Actually, they didn't say what deleting would even do.... I should ask.

WELZ

@Catija Incognito... it's still there

quartata

@ArtOfCode I have no idea what kind of emails spammers use to sign up with

NobodyNada

11:16 PM

I don't think IP addresses would help us at all because SpamRam already deals with those

Catija

@WELZ I just changed the channel to private, so SE may not have pulled the info from Slack yet to realize that it's not public any more.

NobodyNada

But emails are probably useful -- we could search for e.g. services providing throwaway email accounts

quartata

Although a good reason would be posting a link to the same domain as your email

ArtOfCode

It deals with blocking them, yes; not sure it deals with anything more intelligent than that

@quartata they're generally about as predictable as the posts themselves
