a "no future reasons" policy might work - add a created_at field to every object in the findspam list, and have a list of NFR sites, with creation dates, in GlobalVars
 
Suppose SO mods agreed (hah!) that they wanted some weird small tweak. I'd probably say "fine" and just do it - but that's because SO is worth it numerically.
 
i.e. add BI to the GV list with a creation date today, and reasons created after that date don't run on BI
 
Maybe. Awful lot of complexity for that
 
yeah, that's where the "is it worth it" debate comes in
 
The base concern here is that I don't think we should let users who aren't involved in the code dictate what we do with reasons. We're the only ones qualified to make that call.
 
5:03 AM
there's also "turn off this reason altogether" vs "don't report this reason for this site if it's the only reason"
 
This would have gone way better if a moderator had come in and said "hey, we almost lost a user over this. We don't like that, try not to let it happen again?"
 
@Undo I think that's valid, but ideally we'd also have some finer-grained control for the case of people wanting tweaks than just disabling the site
 
And maybe that's how it should have been interpreted. We review the reason, the site, the comments, etc. with input - but without treating the input like a demand.
Seems like a distinction between "people suggesting tweaks and us accepting them" and "us promising to follow a requirement in perpetuity"
 
Rob
Couldn't reasons be weighted by the site they're detected on? With enough FPs, the reasons would naturally be excluded in the future
 
@Undo Sorry, I couldn't make it past the 4th word here without laughing.
 
Rob
5:05 AM
In that sense.. there's no tweaking involved
 
You need volume on that to make it statistically significant. Like, way more than one datapoint.
 
@Undo Sorta. I tend to agree that people uninvolved in the code won't make the best decisions about it, that's... basically a no-brainer. But yeah, a way for people to say "this is what we'd like to happen (or not happen)" and let us figure out how to make it
 
Rob
@Undo Sure, but that scales somewhat nicely. Sites which rarely get detected posts aren't really much of an issue. And when they start picking up lots of FPs, they'll naturally decrease the weight
 
this isn't about volume anyway
 
@ArtOfCode It probably needs to be phrased as "we put a lot of weight on this fp, try not to make that happen again?" than as "drop this reason" or even a direct "this can't happen again"
 
5:09 AM
Dash idea ^^
Thoughts?
 
Like
text-success on the tp count, maybe?
text-danger on the fp count
 
Heh. I read the title to quickly and thought it said "Super Duper Dashboard"
 
Lol
 
The only way we can prevent damage on a site from the system is to kill it completely. Otherwise, you're still accepting risk... and we're positioned the best to manage that risk.
 
@ArtOfCode Wonder if it's worth making this slightly more formalized. Not huge amounts, but maybe ask people with tweak requests to submit an issue telling us what happened and what they want to happen.
@Andy I read it as "Super (User Dashboard)"
 
5:11 AM
@thesecretmaster that was fast
 
@thesecretmaster those graphs aren't single-site graphs, are they? Looks like way too high volume for just SU on the reports graph?
 
Those... should be single site
 
@ArtOfCode I don't think a Git Issue is unreasonable. Especially if we have to make code changes to accomplish their request
 
This makes sense. Sites know what risk they're willing to accept. We know how to tune the technical bits to hit that risk. The intersection there is how we can work together.
 
@Andy I was thinking also it means the response here in chat is "go submit an issue" (nicer words), which gives us the time separation and async-ness to respond constructively. I don't think the realtime-ness of chat helped today.
 
5:13 AM
Aye
GH does issue templates, right?
 
aye, but they'd apply to all issues
 
I thought you could have multiple
 
oh, can you?
 
@thesecretmaster I like it
 
@thesecretmaster I'll take a look when you throw the PR in :)
 
5:14 AM
saw something about a dropdown list somewhere like two years ago. Digging.
 
@ArtOfCode I just checked, and they are single site.
 
at least the Github issue tracker for shellcheck.net has a single template where they want you to fill in different sections depending on the type of issue
 
two cents: just be careful not to make issue reporting feel like a burden. If someone has to understand your system in some way to file an issue, they might rather tell you and have you translate it to your own language.
 
5:15 AM
Any graphs you'd prefer over ttd and reports?
 
Oooo I can actually steal "detailed ttd"
 
@Undo I don't feel like you're under any obligation to do anything like that.
 
tpu- by tripleee
 
!!/watch CNN747
 
5:16 AM
@Cascabel The template could be something like "link to the case", "sentence about the (severity of) harm it caused", and that's it.
 
@tripleee Added CNN747 to watchlist
 
@Cascabel good point. Since you said it, I'm gonna volunteer you - if you came here with a problem, and I said to you "If you can create an issue on the GitHub repo detailing the issue and what you'd like to see, we'll take a look."... how's that on the burden scale?
 
also weird idea I had - is it possible/reasonable to make the autoflagging include a custom flag that can help mods who don't know anything about smokey get to information?
 
I've proposed this before
 
We'd get endless declined flags :P
 
5:17 AM
yeah
 
@Cascabel Possible yes, but we very rarely get moderators complaining about autoflags. Mostly because they don't know when they're seeing them, so often they just handle them like normal flags.
 
which is an issue because people didn't sign up for flags that we know are going to get declined a lot, and if we send all those flags from the Smokey account then it'll get flag-banned
 
I tend to see that as a feature
 
I was thinking in terms of potentially getting more direct information about false positives, mostly.

@thesecretmaster only thought about this: can you make the whole thing filterable by date range? Default to last month, or something, but options for all time/last year/last month/last week/yesterday would be good.
 
Oh. If the template is within query string length, help.github.com/articles/…
Or put it in a .md file and use ?template= to reference it
I'll leave this here, though:
7 hours ago, by Shog9
This feels like a search for a technical / procedural solution to a social problem
 
@ArtOfCode hmmmm that seems mostly okay to me personally, I'm not sure if I'm quite thinking through everything that everyone else might think though.
 
@Undo technical solutions can help alleviate social problems, though. Yeah, it's us, the people, that need to work on communication, but having technical things that give us the space to do it can't hurt.
 
Aye
 
@Cascabel Awesome
 
5:23 AM
maybe "explaining" rather than detailing, maybe work in something about how soon you'll look if you can, to try to clarify that it's not that you're brushing it off till later, it's just easier to keep track of
(sorry, apparently not in concise phrasing mode tonight)
 
heh
well looking at the help article @Andy linked... this is a simple thing that we can do now, so... I'm gonna do it
 
@ArtOfCode Hm.. I can do last n months easily, just not sure where to stick that in the UI.
 
@thesecretmaster how about next to the site selector? "Data from site: <select> over the last <select> <search>"
 
I'm going to stick with "Data from site: <select> over the last <number> months." I don't want to mess with graphs_controller too much, because I don't want to screw over the real graphs.
 
@thesecretmaster yeah cool
 
5:29 AM
@thesecretmaster Looks good. Id' suggest the number of posts on which autoflags have been raised, and how many of those were declined or retracted, be shown as predominantly as True/False Positives. As it is, someone viewing it with no knowledge, and primarily concerned about autoflags will potentially think that 8276 posts were autoflagged with 686 of those being declined. [Yeah, completely wrong, but people... are people.] This is more likely given that an increasing autoflags meta is to be posted.

@Henders I did so several hours ago. Loads of fun. :-)
 
Eh? That wasn't in reference to your post :P sits confusedly
 
@Henders Yeah, I figured that out belatedly.
 
:P
 
Sorry about that. I should go back to sleep.

[ charcoal-se.github.io ] continuous-integration/travis-ci/pr error on 2e88cc1: The Travis CI build could not complete due to an error
 
^ Is that still known to be broken? I edited some .md files. That shouldn't have broken anything
Also...that build completed 11 minutes ago. Why'd it take so long to post here?
 
Maybe github issues?
Failed to fetch
 
There's been a DDoS on GitHub that I've just read about.
 
@ArtOfCode @iBug yeah that's right. with @dec you take in the function and return the new function. but with @dec(...) you take in the function, then return a function that takes in the arguments and returns the new function
 
githubengineering.com/ddos-incident-report - It's an interesting read. GitHub was hit with a 1.3 Tbps attack and basically shrugged it off with a "That's all you've got?"

@quartata Thanks. It only needs "@dec and @dec() are different" before I understand.
 
er sorry I meant it takes in the arguments and returns a function that takes in the function
wrong order
 
yeah
