@SantaClaus Imagine SO, take out everyone over age 17, then replace imaginary Internet points with a trip to California. Also, skew the distribution of people much, much more heavily toward a certain country.
@GlenH7 I've checked Ebay (made a huge spreadsheet of all the recently sold ones), price seems to be $25-50 under average - also, I know it's been well taken care of.
Some wikimedia mentors have actually shared leaderboard rankings with students on request, but I'm not sure if they're supposed to do that. There's a thing on GitHub somewhere to make a leaderboard.

(a) is constant work in progress, I don't see how we can quickly make improvements on that.
@Undo But that doesn't show anything. Sure it will get quiet without the bot, but the counterargument is that it takes long for humans to fill the void.
Actually, repeated chars in body/ title are already non-tavern.
A client-side solution that highlights spam reports could be convenient. I use one to generate Chrome desktop notifications; so I don't even have to have the browser open to flag spam.
I saw it discussed a month or so ago, but has the idea of having smokey automatically issue a flag for certain reasons (or during certain times) been reconsidered?
Network diamonds flagging individual posts is kind of a waste of time (that they are paid for). They are supposed to solve problems that users can't solve.
That's fair, @Normal. That's what I do with comments. I didn't want to put it on a sockpuppet. I figured if I was flagging, I should be the one held responsible for mistakes it makes
@Andy If this was something that would tie in with Smokey, yeah
That said, a few reason/site/time combinations are good enough that I'd be comfortable saying that "this is super suspicious, and the fact that it meets the criteria for a flag from Smokey means it deserves a flag from Smokey".
At that point, it ceases to be sockpuppeting because... I'm not actively controlling it. It's just a system that I've decided is good enough to be let loose on its own
With oversight and hard data collected on everything, of course
Another idea, could be to set up a StackApp where people could authorize the system to flag on their behalf. Present them with metasmoke data and let them pick the reasons/times they want to flag automatically.
I have the infrastructure to pull that off. It'd probably be through Metasmoke, because I have more control over that and there's less ability for someone to push a bad commit and harvest data like with Smokey.
Undo, I'd do a few things: 1.) Don't allow more than half of the flags on a post to be done automatically 2.) Rotate through eligible users when flagging (based on settings what reason/time) so that you don't burn through one person's flags and not touch another's (which means you also need to know if the user has an account on the site)
3.) Perhaps only issue the autoflags after a short delay, allowing users to flag first and the autoflags can clean up the few stragglers that aren't removed after a show delay
@Andy 3 is what I'm doing. I'm checking the post twice: first, record the score as it was reported. 10 minutes later, compare with the original to see that it dropped by 3 at least. Also checking a few other things, like it being a new post by 1-rep user, etc.
@Undo We'll see today. Infinite Recursion agreed with bjb just now, and pinged balpha to revise whether Smokey should stay there, as he gave him the write privileges. It might be a good idea to wait for his voice.
(I was thinking of adding Robotics to the sites exempt from "health-related" reasons, because they talk about muscles and such. And don't really have spam.)
Only open in safari is supported now.
