@VictorVosMottor For vandalism like that, we typically mark it was tp- or v. We don't want to blacklist the user as they typically won't go on to vandalize their posts again once warned.

@Spevacus A question: why am i able to addblu/rmblu if i'm not blacklister ?
!!/help
 
@VictorVosMottor I'm SmokeDetector, a bot that detects spam and offensive posts on the network and posts alerts to chat. A command list is available here.

4:19 PM
@VictorVosMottor ╳ No, you are not a blacklist manager privileged user.
 
@VictorVosMottor Blacklist Managers (read about these here) are users who can add to and remove from the watchlist and blacklist lists for websites and other such keywords. The user blacklist is just a list of users that will automatically have their posts reported through SmokeDetector when scanned.
 
@Spevacus thx
 
We can add to the Watchlist and Blacklist ourselves by using !!/watch (regex) too, but our additions are made in the form of a Pull Request, which a blacklist manager must review and approve/reject.

@double-beep Because I went through the list of feedbacks which were duplicated and cleared all the duplicates. In other words, on every post where a user had more than one feedback, I deleted enough of them so that each user has only one feedback per post. The significant majority of them were straight duplicate feedbacks which were created within 0 seconds of each other.
 
5:58 PM
@metasmoke cc @Rubiksmoose see domain history, you've also TP'd an earlier post by this user

@metasmoke @Rubiksmoose that looks like blatant spam to me.
 
@Makyen I'm assuming only exact duplicates were removed? As in, feedbacks that were identical?
@double-beep Agreed.
Plain advert.
 
6:11 PM
opinions on this? Could be a question, but the link is both at the end and in the middle of the post + the user's profile is just an advertisement
 
@double-beep I lean tp, but I would skip in review and leave for you to decide :)
 
Quick! Let me do the easy ones first!
 
@Mast No. I also removed ones where the user had given more than one non-identical feedback. On each of those, I evaluated which feedback was either A) the one which appeared more likely the user intended to be their final feedback (i.e. their most recent), or, in a small number of cases, which was more appropriate for the post.
 
@double-beep With the queue under 300 now, not many easy ones left :)
 
@metasmoke @Rubiksmoose another probable TP due to the domain history.
 
@Makyen Sounds good.
 
@double-beep fixed all of them
 
6:21 PM
thanks!
appreciate the work you've put to clear the queue BTW
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad ns for domain in body (1): infected this directory public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge/index.php by Polo Jafri on serverfault.com
 
@double-beep I was of split mind on that one as well.
@double-beep Same back at you!
 
@Rubiksmoose Damn. That's the first time it's been below 1k in ages. What's left, just the stuff that's not clear?

time to revert the review queue count change?
 
I believe this is the first time that this has been invoked
 
@double-beep seconded
 
but hey @Rubiksmoose @double-beep, want some stickers?
 
@DanielWiddis Wow.
 
6:29 PM
@ArtOfCode hah! I wouldn't say no to some :)
 
@Rubiksmoose drop me an email, art@charcoal :)
 
@ArtOfCode will do!
 
Don't forget to upload pictures once you receive them :)
 
We never really quantified what "exceptional contribution" means in terms of earning stickers... but whatever it is, I'm pretty sure 18,655 reviews qualifies :P

Just finished going through the English sites alphabetically. I think whatever's left is foreign language.

@Mithical nice!

My review buttons stopped working. I think I'm in a race condition with Mithical. :)
 
@Makyen I kind of want to add a DB constraint to prevent duplicate feedbacks (i.e. unique on user_id and post_id)
 
@DanielWiddis sorry
 
No worries, don't think the queue is designed for this case. I'll let you run with it.
 
lol
If either of you takes a break and decides to have some actual weekend, that would solve the problem.
 
6:43 PM
Waiting for my football team to play later in the day ;)
 
I just got online after two days off, so I decided to spend some time doing some, uh, useful stuff. ;)
 
Yea, I'm currently investigating a tool to auto-compare similar posts to make extracting a regex easier, so...
I'm not exactly setting a great example.

Mwuahahahahaha.
 
Anybody have a read on what's going on here? It seems gibberish enough that it could be spam? Or maybe I'm just not getting it
 
Looks like they got a notification about a phishing attempt on their site and are looking for help understanding it?
 
@SmokeDetector f
 
I disabled the feedback buttons for FIRE on chat.Meta quite a while ago. I'm now looking to re-enable them. I'm relatively sure I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the script since then. Does anyone know how I can reenable the feedback buttons there?

@thesecretmaster New feedback from a user currently replaces any feedback which was given in the last 24 hours. If the old feedback is more than 24 hours old, then it's not replaced, but the new feedback is added. As far as I know, that was done so there's a record of the old "locked" feedback. However, it would be better, IMO, for the old, >24 hours old, "locked" feedback to be automatically "cleared" (i.e. leaving a record) when a new feedback is given.
I don't recall a situation where it's been desirable to not clear that old feedback.
However, the significant majority of the duplicated feedback was actual duplicates, which were placed within, at most, a second or two, mostly in 0 seconds. IME, this happens when either a userscript sends more than one feedback very rapidly, or when the user double-clicks on the feedback button on MS. I assume that in such cases, MS has two threads which are applying the feedback and the check for a duplicate is made prior to the new feedback being placed. Thus, there's a timing issue.
The real fix is to have MS perform a check after the feedback is added. In that check, it should be that if there is more than one feedback from the user, then only the most recent should be retained, and any additional feedback from the user on the post within the last 24 hours silently deleted and any feedback from the user on the post which is older than 24 hours being marked as "cleared".
The JavaScript should be changed such that it doesn't allow the user to double-click, but that's a band-aid, rather than a real fix. [The JS to do this is written/in testing, as it's still useful (and applied to more elements), even if a real MS solution is implemented for feedback.]
@Mithical To clear the configuration of FIRE you can do:
Jul 8 '18 at 16:38, by Makyen
You can enter the following in the console to wipe FIRE's localStorage values and start over: localStorage.removeItem('fire-user-data'); localStorage.removeItem('fire-user-sites'); localStorage.removeItem('fire-sites');
 
thanks
queue at 33
 
Sorry for the multiple pings. Just appending the onebox to the monologue made it look a lot like it was part of the earlier information, even though it was a reply to something else.
 
1692 feedbacks today (620 yours) <-- I'm content to let someone else finish.
 
1694 feedbacks today (781 yours)
 
Noice!
 
@double-beep Worse, RA.
 
@Mast These are easy to spot in the "why" data. If the captured text begins and ends with "buy" and a part of an <a> or </a> then it's almost always that regex.
 
20 to go.
 
@Makyen I thought there were multiple regex that do something like that, but I'm having doubts about my assumption now.

Congratulations everyone!
 
7:17 PM
@Makyen is GraphQL convenient anyway?
 
Time to shout out some power players: @Rubiksmoose is the undisputed review queue king, having given 18,655 feedbacks over the course of the event. That's... Insane, honestly. Runner up is @double-beep with 6,369, followed by @DanielWiddis with 2,440 - an impressive feat for someone who only joined a few weeks ago.
13
Here's a screenshot of the standings for the non-Core folks.
 
Which means that @Rubiksmoose has jumped to #8 in all-time human feedbacks.
(And @double-beep up in #5.)
 
I'm 6th? I just got here...
 
@double-beep Personally, I find the GraphiQL interface to be much better. I don't have a problem with removing the link to the GraphQL interface. My comment on your PR is mostly a procedural/organizational issue.
 
7:24 PM
Still got a few untagged domains... ;)
Next up: We go on a report spree for drug spam website builder sites (such as Google Sites)? :P
 
@Mithical Speaking of which: I think this one that you filed was poof'd.
 
yep, closed
 
@Mast Which highlights just how much work almost 19k feedbacks is for one person and how huge the 37,062 feedbacks contributed during the Barbequeue are. Great job. Thank you, and everyone, for all the hard work
 
Yea, 19k reviews in 13 days by the same person is nuts.
 
I did about 900 in the last 24 hours and could not sustain that for two weeks. Hats (antlers?) off to the moose.
 
7:28 PM
Pretty sure the moose hit 3 or 4k feedbacks in a single day at one point.
 
Since this excitement has gotten me in a spam-fighting mood, I think I'll finally send this list over to Medium.

Huh. Sounds interesting. Can you auto set up a MS abuse report at the same time?
 
not automatically
@Mithical do you think this can be closed? The GoFundMe pages 404.

oh, it's by tripleee
