@Ferrybig your spamtracker is not working so well with my other US's :(
 
@K.Dᴀᴠɪs Do you have a name of a userscript that conflicts with it?
 
I'm trying to figure it out
but I know FIRE and SDS are two
Sometimes if I refresh chat 30 times they all get along
 
naa- by WELZ
 
I use the following scripts locally: FIRE, Spamtracker, !!/blame your target, Smokedetector status, SE chat timelines, SE realtime dates, Chat mods
 
4:21 PM
Yup... Just turned it on and everything disappeared again.
 
@K.Dᴀᴠɪs I have seen this happening with windows lock screen, when 1 notification arrives after unlocking your pc, Chrome sees that it has a list of pending notifications, and send them all to your notification center
 
I will try one by one
 
I just have spamtracker & FIRE enabled... and Fire not showing up
@Ferrybig you a fan of free-hand circles? :p
 
4:25 PM
@K.Dᴀᴠɪs That is a weird problem, spamtracker doesn't even modify the chat messages, so its weird that Fire is failing.
 
@iBug your tests look good, let me know if you ever need any help with unittest.mock
 
@K.Dᴀᴠɪs Yes
@K.Dᴀᴠɪs I'm using Fire 1.0.26 and Spamtracker 1.0.1 on TamperMonkey on Google Chrome 65.0.3325.162 on Windows 10 Home, and you?

4:32 PM
@Ferrybig FIRE = 1.0.26 // Spamtracker = 1.0.1 // (Work PC = Windows 7 Pro)
Also home PC Windows 10 Home does same
@CalvT븃 no errors
 
This sucks.... I got my ability to close vote on GD and used up all my votes, so now it's almost as if my flags got reduced from 40+ to 20.
I tried flagging as off topic (not vtc) and it takes me straight to VTC screen with 0 votes remaining.
I'm never gonna get my gold flag badge
 
I think I'm the first person to get a silver badge on the Channel
oops, nope. Art got Enlightened a day before me :(
 
@Ferrybig Hmmm I may have just figured it out... chrome://flags/#enable-nacl
Was enabled.... And I disabled it now all is good
 
@WELZ Yep. That's how it works. SE doesn't think that people should be trusted with more actual close-votes. The change to having close-vote privileges limits the number of (some types of) actions you can take in multiple review queues.
 
@Makyen well, now I lose out on a few flags a day!! (at least make my close votes count as helpful flags - if it does get closed)
meaning 4 other users voted the same.
Makes me wanna bounty so that I can still flag.... :(
 
4:41 PM
@WELZ Or get gold in the main tags so you can hammer
 
4:58 PM
I've found a bug with the primaries monitor. This is of the upmost importance. The links to people's profiles has a double slash in the url. Please treat this as supercritical priority.

Does smokey alternate starting a message with a space to get around "you can't post a duplicate message" in chat?
 
@Art did I get stickers or not? I can't remember
I'm not in the UK atm, so any post is sitting waiting on my desk
 
While we're pinging @art, d'yeh happen to have the GH creds yet? I'm not setting anything up right now, but I was planning on perhaps trying later tonight
 
definitely didn't forget about that
will grab them once I've finished putting stickers in envelopes
 
'k, great
thanks
 
5:45 PM
@CalvT븃 doesn't look like it
or at least, you're not in the spreadsheet
 
OK... hypothetically, how do I find, using the data explorer, a report that has exactly 199 weight, and not kill Metasmoke in the process?
 
@gunr2171 yes (CE does it automatically)
 
JAD
heh, I know what not to do :D
 
@JohnDvorak uh... you probably don't

you probably get a data dump instead and query that

Will this link be available in a way that doesn't involve pinging you?
 
@JohnDvorak if you're looking for the 199 post because I asked, I found one for 198 which'll do
And I wanted it to have a record of who has autoflag conditions under 200
 
Thanks for the update
 
6:01 PM
Which has given me the interesting statistic that you are just as likely to get an autoflag @ 198 if you are core or not
^ there's the post

how do I find my number of auto flags ?
@WELZ lol - that's something I need to learn not to do
 
Go to flagging, my flags and it'll say a total number like: "Mine (number of flags)"
@Undo I was trying to read it :(
I only have 4 auto flags on SO
 
7:38 PM
@WELZ I can find my totals but no breakdown for autoflags
 
@YvetteColomb you would need a dictator to give you those details
@YvetteColomb you have 89 on SO
 
@WELZ thnx
 
So I'm the one with most autoflags on SO - wow!

all I'm gonna say is "fire"... fill in the rest

@ArtOfCode the accounts which are used to autoflag. These are chosen randomly yes?

Core gets priority
 
2 of 3 are given to core users, 1 of 3 to everyone else
 
7:43 PM
2 (random) core, 1 random regular
but it's still random core users.
 
yes but it's not contingent on your activity in here?
 
no
 
You get about 33x more autoflags as a core user
 
@YvetteColomb core status is by itself dependent on your activity here at the moment, isn't it?
 
other than that, random
 
7:44 PM
Can I ask you to clear up that comment - as it was a little unclaer - I pinged you in election chat
 
@tripleee for loose definitions of 'moment'
@YvetteColomb Catija's comment was correct
 
@tripleee yep that is what I was clarifying
> If you're a core user, you're doing more flagging because the posts are being brought to you rather than sitting around on the site and noticing them
 
this is true
 
I think someone should bookmark that for future reference and post a link here to be starred as I'm sure that will come up again.
 
people active here will, on average, see more spam than people not active here
 
7:45 PM
That's not really true - it implies we don't have to do anything
of course - but we have to go and check out the posts
 
Not if you use FIRE.
 
Really, don't worry about this. You'll irritate people more by dredging stuff out of the transcript than you will by letting something - even if it's incorrect, which it's not - just fly by.
 
Maybe we should have a wiki called: "How much spam do we actually flag?"
 
lots
 
@Catija FIRE is recent - we used to have to go to the sites, and often still do to check out a post in context

113k total flags cast, auto+manual
 
@ArtOfCode does that count flags given directly on SE with FDSC feedback?

counts anything that goes through the MS API
