Would anyone use a frontend to SmokeDetector/MS that made it kind of more like SO's review queues? (separate queues for new posts, old posts without feedback, new domains, buttons for flagging and feedback and blacklisting...)
it's been something I've been thinking about attempting for a while

@NisseEngström What does that mean?
 
fp- by FelixSFD
 
@Catija true positive, blacklist user, don't respond
tp = true positive, 'u' with the TP blacklists the user, '-' is a silencer.
 
So it keeps the alert from showing up in other rooms?
 
6:46 PM
No
It stops Smokey from replying to the message
@SmokeDetector fp
 
@Mithrandir Registered question as false positive.
 
Smokey replies to messages?
Or you mean in here...
 
In here.
 
So like what it just did?
 
?
Smokey won't post anything in TAS except for the report itself at the moment.
 
6:48 PM
you did fp without a - and it responded that it was registered as a false positive.
 
Yeah
It won't accept feedback in TAS, BTW, I think
 
But if you'd said fp- it wouldn't have given the confirmation message?
 
Right
 
Oh, I don't know that I plan to give feedback anyway. :P

hi what is the forum for
hello??
 
What do you mean by "what is the forum for"? This is a chat room.
 
yes, I mean what is being discussed here. What topics are we talking about
 
@JakeSymons Provided you're on a full web browser, the purpose of a room is generally explained in the room description.

@JF I'm SmokeDetector, a bot that detects spam and offensive posts on the network and posts alerts to chat. A command list is available here.
 
So this is a forum about removing spam??
and offensive posts??
 
J F
@JakeSymons Our bot detects spam and offensive posts all across Stack Exchange, then reports it here so we can remove it quickly
 
This is not a forum. It's a chat room.
 
Okay, is their anything I can do to help
 
J F
8:00 PM
Our homepage has a more detailed description of what we do.
 
Bust the spam
beat sorry
 
J F
@JakeSymons Sure! Wait for a report to be posted, open the post, and flag it as spam if it actually is spam.
 
!!/alive
 
@JakeSymons You doubt me?
 
how often do reports come on average
 
8:02 PM
@JakeSymons Depends.
 
J F
@JakeSymons Depends on what time it is. The average right now is about 30 minutes.
 
when was the last one today
 
J F
@SmokeDetector @JakeSymons This one.
 
Right now, not a whole lot, but around 4:00-8:00 UTC, it happens several times a minute
 
On the graph whats the difference between true and false positives. Sorry for sounding so dumb I am completely new to everything in the forum
 
8:03 PM
I think? That's my best guess for spam-o-clock
 
J F
@JakeSymons That’s OK, everyone in here was new at one time.
 
@JakeSymons True means smoke detector reported something that was indeed spam. False positive means smokey thought it was spam, but humans judged that it wasn't
 
okay
thanks
 
No problem!

so what do we do?
correction - you do
 
Also off-topic. Flagged.
 
J F
Might be a spam seed (i.e. the same person will post an answer advertising something that purportedly fixes the problem). I’m going to keep an eye on it.
 
roger that
what do we do when were not deleting and editing peoples posts?

not sure whether that's a positive or a negative detection lol
@DavidPostill ^ cc
 
still don't see it
 
@JakeSymons It's the link...
 
^ that
links are read in as 'words'
 
oh right, I get it now
 
@DavidPostill Others of us are puttering around with very evil Python code projects
 
8:33 PM
What are the links on the status tab on my account??
 
@ThomasWard :)
 
So... did they really write a sorta legit question just to post a link to that website?
 
@JakeSymons which links do yuo mean?
@Catija That's what my thought was, but... I can't tell
 
on my status tap on the metasmoke it say Headers/EC2 Standby
and stuff about pings
 
@Undo @ArtOfCode not sure if bug, but can't remove my own smokedetectors.
@JakeSymons those aren't specific to you
that's the current status of the SmokeDetector instances
one main, multiple standby, and the last time they pinged in
!!/location
 
8:35 PM
@ThomasWard angussidney/EC2
 
^ angussidney/EC2's smokedetector instance
 
oh right
 
'status' is just a link to the 'current system status' and as MS relies on Smokey and vice versa to some extent, it's good to know the current state of Smokey instances
 
@JakeSymons Poster has asked similar questions before, also related to a drugs website.

Q: Better way to exclude html elements from css

Catherine AndersonI have found a really nice css code that will show links as highlighted text. Now I would like to have this style applied only on posts on my website so after adding the css style I needed to exclude other elements that will not fit into my post requirement so I ended up with this: .entry-co...

 
so, nuke them then?
 
8:37 PM
oh,
So the bad word was drugs
What does nuke mean?
 
@ThomasWard If there's not a button to do it, probably by design
 
Sorry guys I know I'm asking like so many questions right now
 
@Undo there is
 
Maybe a bad design
 
it doesn't work, says i don't have privs.
 
8:38 PM
@ThomasWard I'm still not sure. They seem to be legitimate questions ...
 
Oh, well then it's broke
 
@DavidPostill should I poke SO mods via TL and ask?
@JakeSymons 'nuke' means 'flag the post as spam', or in the mod diamond sense, 'destroy the user with fire and remove them from the site'
@Undo also your opinion on the above report would be nice
 
@ThomasWard Well we have an SO mod here called @Undo
 
Mobile, can't look right now
 
8:39 PM
The user has asked the same question about excluding elements august 3 and now
both about drugs
 
@Undo well for relevance of why i said potential bug
 
@JakeSymons nuke == destroy post and/or user spammer
 
'Remove' says insufficient privs
 
@ThomasWard Yeah, it's a bug:
 
It does seem feasible that someone building a website for a dispensary might need help with it?

@ArtOfCode bug: I can't delete my own smoke detector
 
@Catija Exactly. That's why I'm not sure.
 
cc @ArtOfCode on that pls fix
 
Could the drugs bit be edited out just referring to "the website" then giving the actual link in this case?
 
It's probably a privileges issue -- even if you don't have admin it should to check if it's your smoke detector
 
@EdCottrell ohai.
 
8:42 PM
also @ThomasWard did you get my comments
 
What's up?
 
Start here and read down.
https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/41093660#41093660
 
You get a read about all my newbie questions :)
 
@Catija Note that the 2 questions are referring to different websites though.
 
struggling to determine if spam or not, mostly because of the question but also the content of the given link being used in the post
 
8:44 PM
@DavidPostill Same user?
 
more or less, wanted to bring something of potential-spam to you guys and to clear up our confusion :)
 
If the link was removed could the question still be understood?
 
@Catija Yes.
 
They also seem to be actually responding to comments... I don't think that's something spammers usually do?
And answering questions...
 
@ThomasWard It's pretty spammy. I think the best approach is going to be to ask them to make their posts less promotional, more technical. Right now, they seem to be heavy on terms related to the sites in question. We'll handle it. Thanks.
 
8:45 PM
And... seriously... her name is Catherine. :P She's got to be OK, right?
 
@EdCottrell no problem, thanks for stopping by and helping clear our confusion :)
 
@ThomasWard sure thing

whats @smokedetor doing
 
8:57 PM
@Mithrandir I drift between 'here' and 'not'.
 
@ThomasWard and the pit of darkness, I presume
 
@JakeSymons it's letting us know that a git pull request was processed
 
being a very good bup
 
It working now
 
and also letting us know that CI (our test suites) passed
and that it's merged in and restarted.
when it gets an 'autopull' it needs to restart itself ;)
 
8:58 PM
It does a lot of stuff
 
@JakeSymons yes, it does
 
that's why it's so complicated to maintain
and why a number of us have the ability to revise things.
Usually I don't have to do anything with it :0

9:04 PM
quick question - what do the abbrivations mean
 
@JakeSymons Yes, definitely spam. The link is to a loan company whcih has nothing at all to do with the question.
 
fp is false positive (not spam)
tpu is true positive, blacklist user (spam)
tp is true positive (usually used for vandalism)

@trip did Tanmay send you the updated DeepSmoke model yet?
I'm assuming not, since I don't see anything running in the test room except for halflife
 
I had a look at the privileges. It didn't say if I could edit posts that come up on hear. I know I can edit posts I just wanted to check it was okay
 
@JakeSymons You should never edit spam posts
 
9:25 PM
Not spam posts, like the one with the drugs link, just taking it out
 
Generally, we (very strongly) discourage editing spam/abusive posts, but if it's not spam, go right ahead.
 
@JakeSymons "Removing spam/abusive text before a question/answer is deleted can affect the automated spam/abuse detection (users will not flag it as spam/abusive). See Should Spam posts be edited?."
 
@JakeSymons In this case, no, because SO mods are working on those
 
So, If I want to edit something its best to check first here if it comes up one here
Or leave it to the mods
 
since I prodded them and brought that issue to their attention.
@JakeSymons yep, asking here helps first
 
9:27 PM
Also, rollbacking a post will dispute all pending red flags on the post.
I think.
 
@JakeSymons If it is not a spam post you need to be very careful to leave a valid question when the link has been removed. It is probably better to leave that to someone more experienced ...
 
the Smokey contributors consist of a lot of us moderator-diamond-wielding folks so we can help determine what to do.
if it's on Ask Ubuntu though and it's not blatantly spam poke me
because it's probably on my radar to squish ;)
 
Yeah, lots of mods from around the network here ;)
 
I'll just leave it to you guys
You kinda know what your actually doing
 
And if it is on SuperUser poke me as I'm a mod there.
"Where diamonds are made"
 
9:28 PM
Don't mean to be annoying with another question but on the list of watched key words why do we have so many?
 
^ this
@JakeSymons because?
I don't know why but we usually don't worry about it
Except when it breaks things
 
I'm a mod on Literature.SE, so you can poke me, although that's fairly rare
@JakeSymons because there's a lot of spam
 
^ that
 
I never knew there was so much spam out there
 
And the watch list is where we put stuff that isn't eligible for outright blacklisting </jargon>
 
9:30 PM
@JakeSymons welcome to the universe :)
 
@Mithrandir I can't even find your line on the graph :)
 
across all of SE there's tons of spam
 
Wow
That is A LOT of spam.
 
yep
