Actually, does SmokeDetector have the ability to post in mod-only rooms? Perhaps I'd have to give it a permission...

dorukayhan

@Nathaniel the system treats smokey like just another registered user. so yes, it needs permission to talk in mod-only rooms & rooms with limited write access

Nathaniel

@dorukayhan Okay, thanks. Perhaps it makes more sense to just have these post in normal rooms instead.

@Nathaniel: It seems this is your first time sending feedback to SmokeDetector. Make sure you've read the guidance on your privileges, the available commands, and what feedback to use in different situations.

@angussidney @ArtOfCode What do you think about my addition of Instantclick for faster loading? j-f1.github.io/forked-charcoal-se.org (website mostly works, it won’t work fully until merged).

ArtOfCode

@JF it's a static site, so no

@JF you're missing a closing body tag in pings.html

other than that, what happens when I have JS disabled?

J F

@ArtOfCode The same as before — regular page loads happen.

ArtOfCode

22:30

@JF then yeah sure, why not

Ooh, someone uses the chat-typing... userscript.

Nice.

They have that on the slowest loading link...

@ArtOfCode Charcoal-SE/charcoal-se.github.io#9

Does anybody know Jekyll? We could use it to do actual templating on charcoal-se.org.

Thanks Art :)

ArtOfCode

22:37

@JF we could, but then I don't think we'd have our custom design

J F

@ArtOfCode I think it’s a real install of Jekyll — I’m trying to figure it out now.

ArtOfCode

@Nathaniel I don't think Smokey posts in 1167, so you won't get notifications there

Nathaniel

@ArtOfCode Oh? It's an open room. Is there a list of places where it can post?

ArtOfCode

@Nathaniel Aye, but Smokey only talks in rooms we've defined, and 1167 isn't on that list right now

I'm not 100% sure on how notifications work, anyway

If you wanted notifications in that room, we could set Smokey up to post reports on Christianity in there, and then you could add the notification.

That said, for the volume of spam Christianity gets (read: none), I'm not sure it's worth it

Nathaniel

@ArtOfCode Okay. Would it comply with standard practice to set smokey to ping me in this room for spam on that site? Or is that seen as too noisy?

J F

@Nathaniel It shouldn’t be. See this example:

@Nathaniel yeah, that's the alternative, and that's totally fine

Jan Dvorak

Should Smokey automatically join any room it's asked to notify in?

ArtOfCode

@JanDvorak it could, but that's just more websocket connections we have to hold

Nathaniel

Okay, cool; thanks

Websockets are cheap, aren't they?

@Nathaniel FYI I wrote a desktop app that will display desktop notifications for spam, among other things for Charcoal.

Nathaniel

@JF Good to know; thanks.

One way to avoid this room getting swamped by people from the meta post could be to create a “Charcoal Lobby” room (or some similar name) where people can come to learn more.

ArtOfCode

shrug

rooms don't have a maximum people limit

I don't think it's gonna be a problem, anyway

^ those are spam links

Let the room get swarmed. There is nothing wrong with that. It's not like there is a lack of room owners or mods should something horrible happen. Assuming it doesn't, because there is no reason it should, having them in this room will show the room in action
