@hyper-neutrino There's a queue of posts to check available for each site. Most of those were set to a depth of 1. About a year ago I changed all of the queue depths to 1, except Stack Overflow and Mathematics. About a week ago, I changed SO's queue depth to 1, also, as a way to reduce the delay in handling the existing support number spam, although those should have been recognized and bypassed the queue anyway.

@hyper-neutrino The queue I was talking about is a per-site queue between when a notification comes in on the SE WebSocket to when SD processes all posts for a site by fetching the data from the SE API and scanning posts. There's also a queue with sites which have posts which should be handled.
When a post is sent over the SE WebSocket as having new activity, there's a summary of the post included, which is the first couple/few hundred characters, That is then checked. If that summary is detected as spam, then the post is added to the queue for the site and the queue for the site is put at the head of the queue of sites, which results in the post being fetched and processed more or less immediately.
If the post summary doesn't detect as spam, then the post is added to the site's queue and the site's queue is added to the queue of sites, if the site's queue has reached its queue depth. If the site's queue has not reached the "full" queue depth, then the site is not queued for processing.
^ That's all from memory, so may have some details incorrect.
 
oh, interesting, that makes sense. thanks!
so basically, if a post looks spam from the summary alone, it and all posts from that site that are queued are immediately scanned

and otherwise, it's put into the site queue and if the site queue is full and not in the queue-queue yet it gets queued
 
so if no post ever gets identified from the summary, how long does that site take to get scanned? does it just pop off the queue queue every like however many seconds to avoid the ratelimit?

11:31 PM
@hyper-neutrino Rate limiting on the SE API is primarily done via a backoff response parameter indicating how many seconds the requestor needs to wait prior to sending their next request for that endpoint. If it's necessary for SD to wait, i.e. it got a backoff, then the fetching stalls for the required period of time. It's actually a bit worse than that in that it stalls upon backoff for any endpoint. If it's not stalled for that, then it processes the next ready site, if there are any.
To give real information on this, I'd really need to look at the queuing code again and in more depth. It's something I've looked a bit at, but not as much as I've intended/desired to, as I tend to be doing other things. :;
 
ah, okay :) well, thanks for the help!

@Makyen Uh... as far as I understood from an earlier conversation with Ryan, this works around the implicit bookending of the watched expression with word boundaries, which is necessary in this case, as they often follow "help.microsoft.com" directly with other words, without a word boundary.
I may have screwed up the expression, though.
 
11:40 PM
Ooh, you can get around the bookending?
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword in body, potentially bad keyword in title, several emoji in title (193): ❖[877❖94❖7788❖ Help❖microsoft❖.com❖ by rewogox on stackoverflow.com
 
It seems it is not having the effect I desired.
 
^the last one didn't have any dots
 
It did in the body
 
11:43 PM
@CodyGray I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish, but you can't get "around" the keyword bookending. You'd need to write the regex to accommodate having the bookending there. What you've written is functionally identical to help\.microsoft\.com all by itself, except you use a capature group, which we really should avoid, unless needed, and you don't need one unless you're creating a named capture group, which you reuse within your regex.
 
I've got help[\W_]*mi[\W_]*cro[\W_]*s[\W_]*oft[\W_]*com(?<!onlinehelp\.microsoft\.com)(?<!offlinehelp\.microsoft\.com)(?<!windowshelp\.microsoft\.com) on the watchlist atm if you wanted to play with that.
 
!!/unblacklist (help\.microsoft\.com)(?=(?<=help\.microsoft\.com))
 
The negative lookbehinds are for some FPs across the network
 
I was trying to learn from this previous conversation. As I mentioned, the intention was to match "help.microsoft.com", even when it's not followed by a word boundary.
 
11:46 PM
@Spevacus Given the bookending, that's functionally equivalent to help[\W_]*mi[\W_]*cro[\W_]*s[\W_]*oft[\W_]*com, as your negative lookbehinds can never match, because there must have already have been detected a \b before the "help", which none of your lookbehinds have.
 
I find the implicit addition of word boundaries to be very annoying. Obviously, if I wanted a word boundary on the expression, I'd add one.
 
wouldn't it so much easier just to filter out any title which contains the numbers they spam?
 
We are already doing that
 
@CodyGray While I can understand that, it's not the case for the vast majority of expressions on the lists.
 
I mean the sequence of numbers showing
 
11:48 PM
@Makyen Oh. Fun. So the fact that it hasn't grabbed an FP has just been luck! >_>
 
@Makyen It's also the case that nearly every word in English should be followed by a space, but imagine how annoying it would be if your editor forced that!
 
Actually, no, I misunderstood what you said. It wouldn't grab any of those FP because of bookending.
 
@Vickel I am still not sure what you mean. There is some very clever fuzzed matching going on with respect to the phone numbers in titles. That's how nearly all of these posts are being reliably detected.
 
ok, that's what I meant... how comes that those others (which are a lot) escape?
 
Which ones are missing detection?
 
11:50 PM
yes
 
@CodyGray In that prior situation, you were trying to start your regex with a double-quote. In almost all normal cases, a double-quote which starts a quote will be preceded by a non-word character. Given that a double-quote is not a word character, that means there wouldn't be a word character/non-word character boundary to be detected just prior to the double quote. That was the issue which was being resolved there.
 
like Tyler wrote about 50/hour
 
@Vickel Which ones and why are they not being manually reported if SD is not automatically detecting them?
 
Ah, I see that this was reopened by Tyler and that he had commented that we were getting 50 every 2 hours.
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Few unique characters in answer, offensive answer detected, potentially bad keyword in answer, repeating characters in answer, toxic answer detected (325): If something that is moving at constant velocity has no net force acting on it, how come it is able to move other objects? by Kiotti Maldanado on physics.SE
 
@Makyen I think, I misunderstood... Those are detected, Yes, BUT those posts shouldn't be able to be placed in first hand, right?
 
Makyen and Cody (and myself) were under the impression that when you said "Wouldn't it be so much easier to just filter out any title which contains the numbers they spam?" you were implying that Charcoal should be doing that (we are) - But what you were saying is that SE should do this at their level to stop the spam before it's posted, right?
 
yes
 
@Vickel Posts not being able to be placed at all is up to SE. Yes, it would be nice if SE had better systems. As it is, SE relies on SmokeDetector/metasmoke/Charcoal, moderators, and reqular users raising spam flags for incidents like this one.
