@JakeSymons Yo!
 
I can't answer the Jekyll question for sure, but with my person site I keep the theme and the content separate because of how GitHub hosted sites work. You need to build the site as it displays and store it in its own repo. The theme that builds the site has to be separated or the page won't load correctly
Why do we need to clean old repositories? What's wrong with keeping them?

@EricLeschinski You don't have code privileges, but I've created PR#1225 for you.
 
Can I test anything?? How do I get things to test??
 
4:10 PM
You would need to probably first get a little bit of reputation then learn more about the software and the people who run it.

@quartata Because I thought it was a good idea at the time and I’m too lazy to merge the two repos again.
@JakeSymons You can test whatever you want. !!/test is useful for seeing if something would be caught by a rule or if it’s already been watched or blacklisted.

@SmokeDetector why
 
4:35 PM
@JakeSymons That's not a report.
 
@Andy I don't know, just feels like they're cluttering up the repo page especially considering most of them were just ideas that were neer implemented. Maybe they could be merged into one repo
whar you said about Jekyll makes sense -- I figured it was part of the build process
?

@quartata As I’ve said [before](too lazy to find the link) I think we should move them to a Charcoal-archive org.

Stack Exchange is a network of question-and-answer websites on topics in varied fields, each site covering a specific topic, where questions, answers, and users are subject to a reputation award process. The sites are modelled after Stack Overflow, a Q&A site for computer programming questions that was the original site in this network. The reputation system allows the sites to be self-moderating. As of April 2017, the three most actively-viewed sites in the network are: Stack Overflow, Super User and Ask Ubuntu. User contributions are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0...

@JakeSymons Why do you want to be pinged in this room? Smokey notifies here by default. !!/notify is usually used to get reports in some other room where you hang out ... with the permisson of the rooms regulars ...
 
oh I didn't know what it did
 
5:18 PM
@DavidPostill setting up Smokey in a new room takes a lot of work
 
@Mithrandir I know. But what is the point of being pinged in here?
 
!!/notify is just for when you want to keep track of any reports from that site.
Like, I get pinged when a post on Literature.SE gets detected.
 
ah. I just watch for flags ;)
 
It just adds the @username to any new reports from the site that you specified, in the room that you specified if it already reports there
Here is the most convenient place to do it.
 
@DavidPostill I was looking at the unawnsered questions on superuser to get reputation. Any tips on where to start??

@JakeSymons The ones you have the knowledge to answer would seem to be a good starting point ...

5:49 PM
@Mithrandir whats that for?
 
I edited the room description, so chat sent an automatic message
In this case I edited it because we passed another milestone - we've now detected over 75,000 true positives!
 
Wow that's a lot. Next Milestone 100,000
 
@Mithrandir Yaaaa! Is it a good time?
 
@JakeSymons we update it at every 1k
@HenryWHHackv2.1 huh?
 
@Mithrandir how long does that take to get each K
 
5:54 PM
@Mithrandir Nothing: Please continue with your scheduled existence.
 
@JakeSymons well, we hit 74k ~November 4
Apparently we missed 73k
72k was October 17
I'm too lazy to look back farther than that
It's been getting faster as we improve our spam checks and catch more spam :]
 
so start of December 75K?
 
No, November 12 75k.
 
I thought we had 74K?
 
No, we just hit 75k today.
That's why I edited the room description.
So that it said 75,000 instead of 74,000
 
5:59 PM
mine was still saying 74K, that's why I was confused
So 76K start of December??
 
We'll see.
 
@Mithrandir On English Lit do they do homework questions on poems
 
@JakeSymons what do you mean?
You should do your own homework.
 
I know but if I'm stuck on it can I ask
 
shrugs depends on specifically the question
Also don't expect a quick answer at all
 
6:03 PM
Its about the meanings of certain words in a poem and the effect on the reader
If I have just put a flag on something does anyone here get notified
Or do flags from SmokeDector only come through here??
!!/active
@everyone Hi There
Quiet Now
 
6:22 PM
@JakeSymons Neither.
@JakeSymons SmokeDetector has many individual algorithms stored in it for post analysis
 
so where do my flags go?
 
it only alerts here when any post it observes from the feed of questions and answers match a given algorithm
@JakeSymons to the flags queue for a given site's moderators to look at
 
oh, so we only get the stuff that is passed through an algorithm here
 
we only see what Smokey sees when it has a match against a certain set of detections.
so those detection patterns have to match for us to see a flag.
we don't see all the "Not an Answer" flags for example
even thoug those are filed.
 
@ThomasWard I get it now thanks
 
6:24 PM
keep in mind Smokey doens't have moderator diamond anywhere - it wouldn't be able to see your flags :P
 
Can I see a list of like the bad words or the other things that it picks up. Is that on the GitHub
 
a large number of the filtered items are here, in regexes: github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/blob/master/findspam.py
but a large number exist elsewhere in the blacklists and watchlists
there are some restrictions as in some sites don't match for certain things, but I forget how extensive that is
 
That's a lot of code
 
@JakeSymons welcome to Smokey, one of the most complex pieces of lawful evil black magic in the universe.
 
@ThomasWard wow
 
6:28 PM
the only thing more evil is processing emails :P
@JakeSymons the majority of the code there are regex-encoded things for detections
and that's a huge list hence why it's so large a list.
 
@ArtOfCode Eliminate merge commits (especially considering it's usually only merging one commit and it should be a fast forward)

Is it normal not to be able to highlight things or is it a bug??
 
Before I spent the time looking, maybe someone here knows, do we have the same pattern blacklisted across the different blacklists? Ie. a site, a username, and a keyword or any combination of those?
 
There won't be any in both the blacklist and watchlist
Why?
 
No, not talking about blacklist/watch list overlap. I'm talking about keyword/username or username/site or keyword/site
 
6:45 PM
@SmokeDetector why
 
Oh. keyword/username would be the most likely
 
@JakeSymons That's not a report.
 
@JakeSymons why only works on post reports
 
If smokey restarts does that sean spam reporting goes off
 
no
 
6:46 PM
no it means either there was a merge or it's part of its autorestart function
or in some cases we have to manually restart Smokey for things
 
especially code changes to nocrash.py because that's a 'master' process.
 
it will still scan any posts that were added to the queue before the restart
 
mhm
 
I think is what they're asking
