@ThomasMarkov Yes. They post a question, get an answer and try to remove all trace of them asking the question (poorly) for some reason. We're fairly good at catching them.
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Few unique characters in body, no whitespace in body, no whitespace in title, repeating characters in body, repeating characters in title (395): HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ✏️ by Coder777 on stackoverflow.com
@DanielWiddis We are. Watching the specific ones mentioned is basically a marker that says "we've seen this before and it might be something to check to see if it should be blacklisted".
@Makyen That pattern looks like it's already caught by Potentially bad keyword in answer and Potentially bad keyword in body; append -force if you really want to do that.
Right, let's start on a new leaf here. It was actually nice to get away a bit and get some breathing space. I have also received advice from CMs about how to avoid future arguments and also created advice for myself which I'll try and stick to. @Undo Since you're invitation has expired (to take a break for 1 week), can you please restore my SmokeDetector access? How much you restore is up to you.

@RyanM It's awesome! I dunno how to remove gif upload limits... I made it work on my work PC but not my home PC. They auto upload to imgur and all, but only my work PC accepts gifs over 10MB or whatever. If you figure out that setting let me know, otherwise, enjoy! It's good for mp4s I think too but I haven't used it for full on videos.
