@Henders looks like that search is catching all flag logs, including those from FIRE, not only autoflagged logs. For instance, this post has one invalidated tpu- feedback from FIRE, which means it would have been flagged via MS, creating a flag log (cc @Undo)

@angussidney so these guys all had a flagging threshold significantly below the recommended 280 on a site which is somewhat prone to false positives
the poor guy got -4 immediately, we should try to get that cleaned up ASAP
@Mithrandir @Jonaz @quartata you might want to redact flags on that last post

@angussidney Not sure I follow. How can FIRE make flag logs?
For auditing purposes, MS makes a flag log (a record in the DB) every time it casts a flag via the SE API, whether that flag was automatic or triggered via a human (i.e. FIRE)
When you press the tpu- button on FIRE, it sends a request to MS which is actually what does the flagging for you, not FIRE
11:46
FIRE can cast flags through metasmoke
Ninja'd :)
@art what I said is correct, yes?
Ah, right I'm with you now
Thanks :)
Yeah, that's right
Thanks, mobile

@SmokeDetector Except on a chinese language site, 99.999% of chinese messages are Spam, according to a chinese friend of mine.

@ThomasWard that's a very scientific-looking number. My estimate based on the messages we see here would be around 97-98% but maybe I don't see all the spam?
@tripleee My estimate is based on the fifty thousand spam messages that contained chinese text, caught by AmavisD and SpamAssassin on my mail server, plus what we observed here.
(100% spam detection accuracy on AmavisD + SpamAssassin with chinese-text messages)
but also
i asked my chinese friend whether these're spam or not and he said "It's almost always spam"
there's like two exceptions heh

I agree; except on Chinese sites, things in Chinese are always spam except in that like one case when the user had a legit question but somehow didn't realize that it's an English site heh
@ThomasWard oh but you are talking email spam, that's a different can of worms
depends on your clientele obviously, a university with Chinese expat students would get a fair amount of legit Chinese email

@JanDvorak the first half of that sentence is where your argument falls down
Why is it harder than spam flags?
@JanDvorak because we'd have to decide when to use each one
@QPaysTaxes Because some mods don't realise they are the same flag
14:38
@ArtOfCode Smokey always uses Spam, Fire can use either
I'm smarter than the bot...
user165474
But what if you are the bot?
Fire can do what it likes with the SE API, but adding an API route to metasmoke just for that ain't worth it
Why not?
@QPaysTaxes it's not like there's a training course
Wouldn't it make more sense to always flag as R/A?
Let's just say I'm not flagging r/a anymore, and I won't until that button in FIRE works
14:41
Spam is r/a anyway, and that would solve things like confused mods.
user165474
Wait spam does equal r/a???
I mean spam qualifies for a r/a flag.

R/A is the more general flag. Spam is R/A, but not all R/A posts are spam.
user165474
Oh okay.
14:44
@HyperNeutrino spam and rude/abusive flags are basically the same, just differ in name only - as Pops says, it's not even Coke vs Pepsi, it's Pepsi vs Pepsi with a different sticker
But, why if MS can flag R/A why not let us do both?
user165474
Haha. :P Okay, makes sense.
@CalvT yes but this pepsi doesn't calm people/users down when you hand it to them
Pops is a SE dev fyi
user165474
Ah. Okay.
14:45
@Riker it's like pouring pepsi onto mentos
That doesn't mean that every mod knows what Pops said here
@JanDvorak that's pretty clear unfortunately - a bunch of them haven't even read Undo's meta post
If you ever get a declined spam flag on r/a stuff, raise it on the specific meta with the appropriate links.
@JanDvorak MS currently can't flag R/A
14:46
@CalvT There is a difference. Spam posts can be used as audits. Rude/Abusive can not
so, we shall confuse mods everywhere because it's too much work not to, and they ought to read meta anyways?
Might be a good idea to make a template on GH or something? To make sure if someone posts a meta post, they include the right stuff?
There was a change to a community wiki post very recently that mentions this, but I can't find it right now.

@angussidney too late :/
I was asleep
I'm looking into writing a bot that can retract flags on my behalf though. Even though it's not available via the API a few screenscrapes a day shouldn't trigger ratelimiting
Such functionality should be integrated into MS
really the bigger problem is that keywords on that should probably be disabled on money SE
at least for questions
@JanDvorak again, what justifies the effort? Doing that in MS is significant effort.
Retracting flags?
16:06
It's a big deal
@ArtOfCode declined flags are a big justification
also it's not actually possible
It allows us to be a lot more aggressive with autoflagging
we don't have user cookies
Of course. I'm not saying it's something that MS can do currently
16:07
or ever, for that matter
What if we only autoflag after the first manual flag...
we do not now, nor will ever, have user cookies
except for when they add it to the API after we bug Pops enough
but that's not the point
this was something that I was going to write to run locally
16:07
@JanDvorak we've discussed this one fifty times as well. Our system is accurate enough that we don't need to.
it would have my cookies
@quartata we still won't have user cookies

Why would we need them
