I've added an optional "valid_detection_reasons" entry to the SD config file. It specifies a list of rules for SD to run. Rules, other than blacklisted user, which are not in the list will not be run. If the list doesn't exist, then everything is run. The intent is to use it for testing when writing a new detection or changing an existing one and you don't want to have all the other rules complicating what you're working on.

@Mast What about, say, editing spam?
 
@CodyGray I don't have 10k on SO.
 
Get with it! How are you going to enjoy all this spam without 10k?
 
12:31 PM
In MS.
I get my daily spam from CHQ and MS.
@CodyGray sigh
 
You don't like pretty pictures?
 
I do, I don't like what's on them though.
You might want to explain them that's not how it works.
 
I have left so many comments during this spam wave asking users not to do the things they've been doing and to just flag spam as spam.
 
Mod message.
Or superping in any chat.
 
Or... leave a comment on one of their posts, which you can delete once they've replied saying they've seen it?
 
12:35 PM
shrug
That was my tactic before I was a moderator. There's more tools now.
 
I don't see why any of those tools are better
Chat is definitely no better. Mod messages would be great if I wanted to leave a record, but I'm not really sure that's necessary. It also comes across as much more official, which makes it feel less friendly.

@IanKemp If you're interested in more information about participating in Charcoal, there's an Introduction to Participating, which has helpful information.
