@Undo When you're back, I need help with only showing invalid flags when a button I just added is pressed.

@hichris123 Technically there already is one on Charcoal for custom post flagging. But yes

@Manish I mean like VLQ, NAA, off-topc (or CV), etc.

@Undo gotten swagmail yet?

@Manish If you're not busy, could you JS something in for me?

sorta busy, but what?

Meh, you don't have to, but it's just on a button press invalidtoggle in flag history, it would only show the invalid flags.

@hichris123 oh like that

doable

@hichris123 invalid=declined?

@hichris123 $('.flagged-post:not(:has(.Declined))').hide()

@Manish Like a select * from stackoverflow (all sites) where valid = 0

oh

that

oops

@hichris123 done

hi @ManishEarth, what is 'charcoal'?

@Amaterasu It's an app to help flag and get rid of comments

ah nice, and handy

I seem to be doing alright on chemistry

@Amaterasu oh right, haven't yet gone through older posts

lol, I got upvoted nicely recently

I have just done 4 answers

true, but they seem good (the ones I read)

thank you

@Amaterasu Of course, the ones I haven't read could be horrible:P

Everything I haven't read is horrible

lol

Because I haven't read it, and I like being a sour grape

sour grapes make the best wines

@Manish Looks good. Only thing we need now is to load 100 more on a scroll down or a load all button.

pah, not my job :p

It's like 12:54 here. Gimme a break. :P

@hichris123 shouldn't you be celebrating/inebriating?

Almost bedtime more like. :P I'm not at a celebration, so...

@ManishEarth Nope ;(

@Undo How can we do the load more on scroll-down thingy or just a load all button?

@hichris We can have a button connected to a jQuery action that sends an AJAX request to a PHP file with a page parameter that fetches more of them, a lot like we did with the context link.

@Undo Sounds like a lot of work.

Not really. I'll take a look when I get a chance (probably tomorrow)

@Undo In the room.

@hichris123 Good.

Now, we must think of how we want it to run.

(remembering that we have 10,000 calls/day max)

Oh...

But we can put 100 comments id's in each request.

I was thinking we could do like a one day thing, and repeat it every week or so.

@hichris123 Yup

And we would use a really minimalistic filter, to reduce bandwidth.

The other thing we need to do (which this will fix) is remove flagged comments from dev from main.

@hichris123 Dev is not supposed to actually be used :P

It's just for staging stuff.

Meh, how else do you test some stuff?

@hichris123 Well, you don't actually go the the site and flag them.

Well, true.

And how do you tell Chrome not to go to GitHub or /charcoaldev, and tell it to go to /charcoal

@hichris123 As in by typing in the address? Not following.

Top 4 results in the searchbar: GH, GH, GH, /charcoaldev

@hichris123 Hehe

We can space requests about eight seconds apart, probably make it fifteen to be safe.

Then I actually have to remove the dev from /charcoaldev. So much work

@hichris123 Bookmark?

I guess.

@Undo So then what do we look for? []?

@hichris123 Something like that.

Or we just loop through the returned stuff and remove all the comments that don't show up in it.

Do you have the API page handy?

@hichris123 api.stackexchange.com/docs/comments-by-ids

@Undo Sidenote, have you ever seen more horrible formatting: stackoverflow.com/questions/20873940/…

@hichris123 Fixed :D

(and VTC'd)

Thank you.

No problem

You probably made my flag valid...

;)

@Undo Looks like you don't need a key for that one...

Nope

So it falls under this, I guess:

Every application is subject to an IP based concurrent request throttle. If a single IP is making more than 30 requests a second, new requests will be dropped. The exact ban period is subject to change, but will be on the order of 30 seconds to a few minutes typically. Note that exactly what response an application gets (in terms of HTTP code, text, and so on) is undefined when subject to this ban; we consider > 30 request/sec per IP to be very abusive and thus cut the requests off very harshly.

@Undo I'm not sure how to do it.

Just a simple GET request

gtg

Bye.

@Undo If you do a comment that is deleted, individually, you get this:

{
  "items": [],
  "quota_remaining": 9982,
  "quota_max": 10000,
  "has_more": false
}

But if you do it with one that's there, it's like this:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "owner": {
        "display_name": "Jeff Atwood",
        "link": "http://stackoverflow.com/users/1/jeff-atwood",
        "profile_image": "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/51d623f33f8b83095db84ff35e15dbe8?s=128&d=identicon&r=PG",
        "accept_rate": 100,
        "user_type": "moderator",
        "user_id": 1,
        "reputation": 29160
      },
      "comment_id": 1,
      "post_id": 35314,
      "creation_date": 1220688430,
      "score": 18,
      "edited": false

@ThiefMaster Me haz comments to delete.

Haven't gone through all of them yet, but here it is (you may want to check them):data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/157286/obsoletes

@ThiefMaster I revised my SEDE query to remove some false-positives.

> "24535351", "vs10 still wont accept it :/"
