@Undo can you please remove me from the auto flagging and all the charcoal, smoke detector activities? I've removed myself from the team in github. thanks, I'm just too busy.
@ArtOfCode FYI: I'm seeing a NoMethodError error from the MS API on the flags endpoint for this post, which was reported by SD here. The error appears to be saying that the user for the flag is null/nil.
@SmokeDetector It's unclear to me if we should be flagging these (there have been 3 from this user). IMO, they are clearly spam, as there's undisclosed affiliation and it's been repeated 3 times. On one of these, I custom mod flagged (marked helpful) due to it being at best a minimal answer, but the post was not edited (i.e. links left in w/o disclosure). On the other, I/we spam flagged (marked helpful) and the post was deleted. This one sort-of contains an answer, but it's real intent is spam.
I thought the queue was changed to 1 on Mi Yodeya so that these posts would be caught quickly. Is the queue depth still higher than 1 for that site and the others where we are seeing a lot of rude trolling?
@Mithrandir Review now has queues. There are currently two queues: Posts and Untagged Domains. The large number comes from Untagged Domains, which is a completely new set of review tasks, that has considerable backlog.
- #drugs is for your bog standard pharma spam, typically Markov-chain-like. These are pretty obvious. - #visit-my-website is for people gratuitously linking to a website that doesn't really fit another category; think "I wrote a solution for this on my blog" or "this website has a good writeup on this" - #buy-my-thing is for people selling physical things that don't fit other categories (i.e. not drugs) - #software-utility is for "download this tool, it solves your problem" - #training is for "X courses"; if they're specifically in India and posted entirely on SO then you want #so-india-tra…
@SmokeDetector Spam with HTML formatting fail (wrong type of quotes), which makes it not as obviously spam. User has edited during the grace period, making it more clear that it's spam.
@Mithrandir might work out, actually. I could send Medium the list you have so far, let 'em know we're classifying, and when we're done you/we can compile another list
@ArtOfCode Given that Smokey now participates in autoflagging, does the flag from SD get auto-retracted when there's an "fp feedback on autoflagged post"? I suspect it doesn't happen automatically, as it would require new/different code, with different auth methodology (i.e. not through the SE API). However, the fact that it doesn't do so means someone with SD credentials will need to respond to each of those that occurs (and they probably should be pinged instead of @System).
@Zoe I didn't intend to imply that it wouldn't be useful to adapt the regexes to more thoroughly detect the newer patterns. It helps to do so, as the content appears to be evolving somewhat.
I asked earlier but didn't get any response: AIM and FIRE don't seem to be working for me (nothing loads), is there anything I need to do? Or is stuff just broken for now?
@ArtOfCode When you get a chance, I've submitted a PR to reduce the queue depth on Buddhism and Judaism. We've had people !!/scan 5 posts on Judaism today. There's also a PR from LunarWatcher.
@doppelgreener These should be working. Are you sure you're on the most recent version?
@doppelgreener Do you have an extension running which would block cross-origin requests to metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/api/filter_fields ? That's the URL which is being fetched that would output that error upon failure.
And the worst thing about that behaviour IMHO is, that stuff works at first, then PB sees a domain several times and blocks it, and suddenly out of the blue nothing works any more, without any notice.
I got rid of it and now use Disconnect, uBlock Origin and uMatrix.
Thankfully it tells me when a new domain is blocked and I can choose whether or not I want to whitelist it.
It's super-useful, as most pages don't need Javascript at all, and it makes everything load faster and take up less resources -- and if I need JS I can keep the core website functionality and block the 3rd-party ads and tracking
@NobodyNada JavaScript blockers are quite useful. I've been using No Script, a Firefox extension, for years. It does change the process of going to a new site, when the site requires JavaScript (most give a basic idea of what the site is without JavaScript). Instead of having all the JavaScript load, you can selectively load scripts from different hosts (either temporarily, or permanently).
While not having their JavaScript enabled does make some sites less immersive, most random sites I visit are sufficient without JavaScript.
