Yeah but your idea is still exactly what SE forbids
Our autoflagging gets around that because no one user makes the call but an automated aggregating system
 
Fair enough - I just know that I'd trust the code admins with my flags for this
 
@CalvT븃 re-posting the Smokey report here works well in most cases. Not if there's nobody around, but remember that a spam post lasting a couple of hours isn't the end of the world. I'm not worried about misuse of the feature, we're a good team all together. It just happens to be against the rules.
 
The only reason why our current setup isn't called sockpuppetry is because any one single person doesn't have the power to cast multiple flags on a post of their choosing. Everything is collaborative, and all actions which affect the system are logged in some shape or form, often with reasoning.
 
essentially
our autoflagging is only allowed because no one person can make a post be flagged, it will only be if the algo thinks it should be
 
I get where you're coming from, and I too trust almost everyone in here... but it's straying too close to the line
 
11:05 AM
The problem is allowing manual autoflags would essentially empower code admins to cast multiple flags with just their approval
Which is directly contradictory to the rules about sockpuppetry ("never use multiple accounts to perform actions you couldn't have with one") and casting multiple flags on the same post is just that.

@Glorfindel I feel like spamfighting is turning me against india as a country
I've developed a sixth sense for the sentence structure associates with no-effort indian blog promoting or spamming
 
To be fair, this is a comprehensive post by that same user. It's far longer than most of my contributions.
 
Thats what I mean
I always feel horrible when I see posts by indians where clearly a lot of effort went in and they did everything right but they still feel like low quality to me because of that certain tinge in the english
Extra sucks if I'm talking to friends from india and can't control the cringe.
 
Yes. I consider myself lucky to have a Germanic language as native language. That makes English a lot easier.
 
I mean I don't like obvious german accents in english either (even though I have one) but still it's an unfair bias that I can't seem to shake

I could run a marathon, could probably even do it by stamina alone, but it would mess up my knees bad

@Undo Smokey sidebar userscript, it uses the following endpoint: metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/posts/… and uses a size depending on how much space there is on the page itself
 
weird. I'm showing 600MB+ left

There, that should buy some time

@ThomasWard Two users spamvertising the same product . Active in the last 2 months. Both currently mod messaged for excessive promotion (one suspended). All answers (more than 10 each) deleted.

add it to the watch list, and bring a hammer to it with destroying, IMO.
but check if it's already caught
with tests :)

we call those murder hobos.

You just kill the gnome before it gets you. Then you label it.

@CalvT븃 well, it's a time travelling gnome
 
@M.A.R. so you destroy the timeline by irradiating the planet. Then the gnome appears and dies of radiation poisoning.
 
Then you take away it's time traveling machine thing
 
@CalvT븃 it's stuck to its belly, and unremovable
 
@M.A.R. Radiation.

@ThomasWard I lost you there. Or you lost me. Or we lost each other. Maybe I need to find my glasses
 
@M.A.R. Then you NUKE IT FROM ORBIT
 
@CalvT븃 no, only Martijn can do that, and he's over at the SO galaxy, meditating
 
@M.A.R. find uranium/plutonium. split the atoms. radiation permeates the biosphere and everything becomes radioactive. Gnome appears out of nowhere to a dead world filled with radiation, and dies from radiation poisoning due to exposure. Problem solved.
but meh. I need a nap... >.>
