@JF: Is it possible to add support for the SOCVR to aIM?
 
@DavidPostill me too FWIW
... I think, not entirely sure I reloaded after updating
 
J F
@Cerbrus It should be.
 
@JF // @match *://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/11540/charcoal-hq
Should probably add a SOCVR line then.
Imma try
@JF: autoflagging.smokeyID = "120914"; <-- that's preventing it from working on SO.
On SO, his ID is 3735529
If you add the match, and change the ID, AIM works in the SOCVR
So it probably needs support for a per-site/room userId to make it work reliably.

@SmokeDetector @DavidPostill the user has been nuked, it seems. Isn't it spam after all?
 
@Glorfindel It did answer the question (first part of the answer) and the link was to a free product - so I gave it the benefit of the doubt.
 
The website is blacklisted, but most of the hits were FPs.
So it seems some of us are in more doubt than others :)
 
12:35 PM
Hmm.
 
Actually, the one I marked as TP may not have been so TP (Oh crap, help!)
 
We should either remove the blacklist entry, or decide that even with the partially helpful answers it's still a spammer at work.
I'm happy following the majority of you in this case.
 
Well comodo do offer completely functional free products. I'm happily using the free firewall. I haven't noticed any spam on SU before ... but that was the second in a few minutes ... by the same user.
 
Well, in fact all reported posts have been deleted.

I'm happy to report those as spam in this case (same user).
 
Can you see why those posts were deleted on SU?
I mean as spam, or just a normal moderator deletion?
 
Difficult to tell.
 
That's a moderator flagging it as spam.
The two hits on SO were 'normal' moderator deletions - you can then still see the contents, and the moderator's name appears in it.
 
@Glorfindel Probably, given the user was nuked as well.
 
Some of the older ones are very spammy.
 
12:43 PM
OK, then we need to adjust the MS feedback on these hits.

@Cerbrus nice. Do you want to be added to the @contributor list?
 
Sure thing :D
 
OK, I (or @JF ) will do that once we bump the version number and fix some other bugs.
 
👍
 
@SmokeDetector AIM bug: the flag log on that is broken, it points to metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/undefined/flag_logs
hovering shows "Flagged by avery" and there's a 1 in front of the flag, but I guess this is a known bug from earlier versions, although I had sort of hoped for it to be fixed in beta3
just to be explicit, the flag icon itself has a link attached to it, which is however broken
Chrome (I think it is) obscures this by showing "post/.../flag_logs" with an ellpisis, but if you hover long enough it reveals that the ellipsis expands to "undefined"
the link is there on posts which were not autoflagged, with the same error

@AshishAhuja: 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.
 
That's normal, but is this really your first feedback?
 
no
maybe my first feedback from SOCVR after my account merge
I surely have feedbacked from here a lot of times
it should only show this once right?
 
@AshishAhuja yeah, that could be it. I see almost 1000 feedbacks here.
@AshishAhuja yes.

looks like a bug, even CaffeineAddiction appeared twice

Alright smokey, I'm about to type some stuff. Don't interrupt me this time...
Updated Graph, now with even more colors!
This has three trend lines per section. Trend lines show the average time to removal for a reported post.
The solid line is the average trend over that period of time. The dashed line is the time to deletion for posts created between UTC+4 and UTC+12 (spamming hour!). The dotted line is the time to deletion outside of spamming hour.
A couple interesting things that I noticed - time to deletion during spam hour was higher when we didn't cast any automatic flags. It was removed faster outside of spam hour.
That reversed when we started issuing a single auto-flag. The spam hour time to deletion is slightly lower than the average. Comparing the two time periods though, time to deletion during non-spam hour at the end of the non-flagging time period and the end of the single flag period are roughly the same.
Again, the three flags time period is so new that there isn't enough data to draw conclusions yet.
HA! I WIN SMOKEY!
 
@Andy The bottom caption doesn't seem to have a line type/colour :/
 
It does, it's just a crappy yellow. I'll fix that next time. I didn't notice it until I pasted the image here.
It's also only two days worth, so it's hard to tell where those three lines diverge at this point
 
fp- by ByteCommander
 
3:50 PM
@Andy FYI, as a newcomer to this project, and after reading the description several times, I'm not sure what the first results graph in the meta post is supposed to communicate.
 
@Nathaniel you mean TP/TotalCount/tpCorrect one?
^ that ?
 
Yep
 
it's a three-way relationship graph
the blue line reflects the number of True Positives, given a specific weight of the number of filters/triggers detected for a given post (and thus the autoflagging thresholds), with the left Y-axis as the scale for it
 
@Nathaniel, I agree that the description is a bit confusing. I was hoping someone would help me clean that one up
 
The green total count is the total number of posts picked up in the same flag weight amount, but includes those which're 'false positives'
the yellow indicates the percentage of the total posts which were True Positives based on flag weight (using the right axis of percentages)
@Andy A definition of what the lines mean would be great to include
 
3:57 PM
Right, with you so far. But what's the point? I think the point is that the better the "reasons" are for the auto-flagging, the more accurate the true positive percentage.
 
and the meaning of what this graph represents
 
But I'm not sure if that's what's intended, or if that's even correct.
How a graph like this might be used as you fine-tune things might also be worth explaining... so you have the power to raise or lower the percentage accuracy of auto-flags by adjusting the minimum "weight" required to trigger them
(if that makes sense)
 
That
 
@ThomasWard, would you like to make a presentable paragraph for that chart? If not, I can after the next meeting.
 
@Andy I would if I could, alas I can't.
 
4:08 PM
No problem. I have a meeting that I finally rounded up all the stakeholders for, so I'll work on it after that
