@AJ Fake multiline chat messages :P

For example, say that 1 is least important and 5 is most

Create a queue:

5555443222111

@tripleee "super blacklist" is a good idea.

@Henders LOLOL :P

IMO tpu- by <user> should always be posted before the next report since it’s unclear otherwise.

Continually try to post the first item in the queue

New messages can be added to the queue, and will be inserted before messages of less priority

10:01 AM

if the problematic messages are "conflicting feedback", can we just make them less prevalent? they seem to come in annoying multiples which could perhaps be collapsed

E.g. if we added another 4 to that queue:

if you keep trying, wouldn't that make the throttle worse?

@tripleee I want to just squash them

@JAD it's whats happening now

@angussidney 555544 4(new) 3222111

This babasupport shit is a real plague @tripleee

I've been searching a bit and the spam is everywhere

10:03 AM

it's a nuisance because it's highly visible but the pharma gang is still #1

hey, why don't you vote for another "super blacklist"?

they are just better at snowshoeing

@tripleee they generally have non-linked accounts (so blacklisting users won't help) but reuse the same username a couple of times in a row. If Smokey could blacklist a username in combination with a domain, we'd autoflag a lot more. I think it might even help for other spammers who use the same tactic.

@iBug I have been proposing various ideas around that topic myself but I think it needs more thought, the ones we have so far are not entirely well-defined and/or sustainable

In terms of conflicting feedback etc, the code on MS simply needs to be fixed

10:03 AM

@tripleee That's what makes it so cancerous. They're everywhere. They have blogs, they reply to bug reports, the file bug reports to gain SEO rank, they offer a scholarship for US students (?!)

then what about an arbitrary "AF-able keyword" on MS side?

@Glorfindel I like this

should I create a GH issue?

The conflicting feedback between revisions thing posts once for every revision (AFAIK), when it should only post once for the post

@Glorfindel please do, I have been thinking vaguely something like that myself

10:05 AM

i still vote for "super black"

Eeh... I don't like the idea of adding yet another blacklist

i'm a bit lost with 1780 now. Feel free to leave comments there. your ideas may influence what i do later.

if we could kill the pharma spam on sight we would nearly be out of a job so I'm thinking there could be some merit to concentrating aggressively on those alone

Remember, 90% of the terms in our blacklist are directed straight at pharma spammers anyway

2

on MS side: if "why" contains super_black_word then send_autoflags

oh yes

there's a temporary solution

add "babasupport" to bad keywords so it will be caught with extra weight

and optionally to "pattern-matching" as well

10:09 AM

@iBug that's a bit too crude IMHO but worth mentioning if we just want to bring them up quickly

@tripleee so i said it "a temporary solution"

ftr, "meatspin" itself is a "blacklisted website"

!!/test meatspin

> Blacklisted website in body, blacklisted website in title
----------
Title - Position 1-9: meatspin
Body - Position 1-9: meatspin

it could be a one-use solution to just blacklist "babasupport" as a keyword

@iBug I like your newest puzzle!

@micsthepick puzzle?

10:13 AM

something like "the same URL occurred in an all-tp report less than 24 hours ago" would also be worth experimenting with

@iBug I support this

and/or adding babasupport to "pattern matching" etc.

@SmokeDetector I believe that message is a bug @ArtOfCode

@gparyani why is a command

@SmokeDetector why was this post reported

@micsthepick Body - Position 1-134: <p>Try this. It's a normal travel pillow that converts to allow you to rest your entire body leaning forwards! www.thelapnap.com</p>

@micsthepick It should ignore it if there are words after it. Or at least, not give an incorrect error message.

@gparyani that's due to the reply starting with "why"

thats status-intended

10:41 AM

It's [status-bydesign]

@Magisch The bug is the incorrect error message.

@gparyani I tried to implement that at some point but it got hairy, IIRC because the context where you want to ignore the rest of the phrase was lost somewhere along the way

It's the correct error message

@angussidney But "why" isn't a report either.

Conflicting feedback messages are not reports

10:42 AM

Maybe replace "this is not a report" with something like "eh... because I said so!?"

@gparyani the error is that you replied "why" to something which wasn't a report

that should stop people picking about it :P

'Conflicting feedback across revision' is not a report, and as such the 'why' command can't retrieve data from said nonexistent report

@tripleee quick and dirty sounds like our MO

Maybe not give an error message at all when replying "why" to non-reports

@iBug If I may ask, what happened on MSE?

10:45 AM

@gparyani that would fix the immediate problem, but suck when you wonder why it doesn't respond

You could fix it in the function for why itself, or add an argument to the decorator on whether the command should fire if there are words afterwards

Meh, we have users here who do a much better job of explaining, and explaining immediately if someone asks.

tpu by micsthepick on How do I prevent my head from drooping while trying to sleep on a plane? [MS]

@doppelgreener While the thing that I'm about to say probably isn't something that's relevant in this case, it's still something important that we all need to think about: if a particular website is being spammed using a wide variety of different styles, then maybe some of those posts are legit. Spammers are dumb; they don't change their ways. Large differences between posts may be an indicator that we've gotten it wrong.

12:43 PM

the few cases of words in inflecting languages vs all the combination of suffixes in agglutinative languages are pretty different

@iBug you can find every kind, Romance languages tend to build long chains of "v de w de x de y de z" whereas Germanic tends to have vswingxungyishzchen with some fugen-particles (what's the English term, compounding particles?) between the parts

English almost always have hyphens between concatenated words...

so we can't do what you guys did with those words trains, there's only so many nouns you can put next to each other so that they still make sense, and anything longer than 6 syllables (and more than 2 nouns) has to be hyphenated

Ambiguous grammar

In computer science, an ambiguous grammar is a context-free grammar for which there exists a string that can have more than one leftmost derivation or parse tree, while an unambiguous grammar is a context-free grammar for which every valid string has a unique leftmost derivation or parse tree. Many languages admit both ambiguous and unambiguous grammars, while some languages admit only ambiguous grammars. Any non-empty language admits an ambiguous grammar by taking an unambiguous grammar and introducing a duplicate rule or synonym (the only language without ambiguous grammars is the empty language...
