[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Misleading link (22): Error when trying to load data from Data Fusion to Salesforce by Omar I on stackoverflow.com
 
fp- feedback received
 
@SmokeDetector Author of the linked article, translated, is Mohammad Reza Ahmadi. Username is MohammadReza. Looks like undisclosed affiliation, plus it's pretty spammy on its own.

@SmokeDetector Network troll's back.
Not that they ever left...
 
Took both sets of words right from my mouth keyboard

Wait give them back I need those!
 
Well we'd have to write a lot more code ourselves if we can't use libs...wait, wrong kind of libs.
 
7:17 PM
@Makyen I'm not sure how MS would determine which the most recent revision was.
 
@thesecretmaster By largest MS post ID?
 
So highest post id with the same link, then compare all the other things?
 
I wonder where that first spam answer got that content. It's factually correct from a brief skim. Doesn't seem to come from comment or other answer. Ah I see wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/2013/10/04/…
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad keyword in answer (1): Single hardware point of failure with the following symptoms? by Shakeel on superuser.com
 
@Rubiksmoose I also googled around for it and found stuff that was similar but not verbatim.
 
7:20 PM
tpu- feedback received
 
Did a quick modification to a query and looks like I have ~170 posts with conflicting feedback. Should probably sort through those and make corrections/inform the appropriate parties.
170/19,000 could be worse though lol
 
@thesecretmaster Yes. There appears to be a bit of disagreement as to if it's necessary to create a new record, but I lean towards going ahead and creating the record, if it's not a duplicate of the most recent report.
 
@RyanM hahaha
@Rubiksmoose oh... it's also counting anything with only 1 feedback as an automatic conflict because there is 0 of the other one XD
 
@metasmoke @Rubiksmoose Misclick on this one maybe? Insult to injury: This one's a question.
 
7:31 PM
@Spevacus oof insult to injury indeed.
Must have been a misclick
 
[ metasmoke-deploy ] deploy started by thesecretmaster
 
@Makyen Deploying, not sure how we'd test this but it should work.
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad keyword in body (1): Binary Serialization of Class with Observable Collection Fails ✏️ by G. M. on stackoverflow.com
 
@RyanM The Moose thought the same thing. I agree; that's a seed.
 
7:35 PM
tp feedback received on [MS] I want to know I am okay or not
 
@RyanM I really can't see how it wouldn't be
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Blacklisted user (71): Are you using event streaming products? by Pandio on stackoverflow.com
 
@Rubiksmoose Yeah that was basically the conclusion I came to. I can't prove it, but I'd be really surprised if it weren't.
 
@RyanM all the buzzwords and their perfectly formatted acronyms. Yeah that's totally how people write.
 
@ThomasWard Why do we need to clone the whole instance to have test server? Can't we just load it from a database + redis dump?
 
7:37 PM
@thesecretmaster because i don't have the expertise to do a metasmoke deploy from scratch :P
 
I mean, once it's set up the only changes that need to happen are dump and redis loading
 
@thesecretmaster and if we run the infra then we don't have to rely on people actually trying to launch their own (a-la user\d*) and failing (then falling back to the prod instance)
 
@tripleee @double-beep @EliahKagan I believe these are all undisclosed affiliation and you may want to look at your vote.
 
@thesecretmaster more concerned why you're asking here and not on KB
 
7:39 PM
Ah, because setting up a MS instance doesn't mean talking about anything sensitive? Although feel free to poke on on KB if I'm wrong about that.
 
tp feedback received on [MS] Jewish population
 
@thesecretmaster you're not wrong but all the cases of testing that so far we need to do require credentials
so unless someone knows enough to brute-force add their creds (which I can do because i have the unsanitized so can deduce algos, etc.)...
 
lol, almost any metasmoke post is conflicting feedback for Rubiksmoose now :-p

7:41 PM
@RyanM hahaha you're not wrong XD
 
@ThomasWard I see no problem with just requiring a separate MS testing account and main MS account
 
@thesecretmaster i mean, that's true
but the registration mechanism requires that new registrations be admin approved it seems
which... you can't do without an admin account or DB knowledge about the setup/application
 
I believe that's a flag somewhere that can be toggled

wut.
 
@DanielWiddis you may want to check the url on this post looks like spam to me.
@RyanM I'm not exactly seeing spammy in this post am I missing something?
 
@Rubiksmoose It has a spammy "signature" linking their Upwork profile. I forget how we're supposed to flag those.
also at the time it was otherwise pretty much an image-only answer
Given that the OP approved an edit to remove it, I'm perhaps willing to switch to fp
 
I'm not too torn up about it one way or another. I agree signature links are weird.
 
7:53 PM
The rest of that user's posts were kind of a mess, they're very, uh, enthusiastic with formatting: stackoverflow.com/a/61683059/208273

(there are a couple that were deleted after I flagged them. nothing super blatant IIRC, though.)
I changed my feedback to fp, thanks for the poke @Rubiksmoose

7:57 PM
@metasmoke @Rubiksmoose this one and this one appear to be you-know-who (as you note in the comments) - they're probably tp.
...well, I guess technically that should be you-know-whom...but that sounds weird.
 
@RyanM They don't deserve proper grammar :P

7:59 PM
Again, destroying some post records which were created as part of testing:

Yeah but Voldemort would definitely need a bot listening for any mention of his name on the site.
 
Who knew Taboos in the Potterverse were just the magical equivalent of website scrapers.

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad ns for domain in answer (1): How do I format the text in a `hover` tooltip of a Slate Bar Chart? by amy.bananagrams on stackoverflow.com
 
8:05 PM
@Rubiksmoose I think so, yeah. Got a domain in mind?
 
fp- feedback received
 
What on earth is this...
Can't tell if it's that troll or just...weird.
 
@RyanM yeah that's why I went with fp. but probably them
But still, wtf
 
@Rubiksmoose I think that one is actually a domain. see, e.g., metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/262401
 
8:06 PM
@Rubiksmoose You can actually get your external IP address from that URL. See this FP with it. I'd even call that notspam.
Go ahead and click the link for it.
 
ah yes. so it does.
 
I think I know which report you're talking about though... This one, right?
 
That one is a case where MS parsed the link incorrectly. The code in that report just tries to open that URL and grab the IP (I guess?)
 
8:10 PM
I decided to tp spiderman as well
;-)
 
@Rubiksmoose I went with tp in the end because it's not actually a real question and it's almost too bizarre to be innocent
but I could be convinced either way I think.
 
"Too bizarre to be innocent." - Now that's a quote.
 
@Spevacus Did you read the post? Tell me I'm wrong :-p
 
In the end we can never be sure. As long as we're clear about the reason I think either is fine.
 
@RyanM Oh I tp'd too. Lol.
 
8:12 PM
Yeah there are definitely posts where the feedback is conflicted for a good reason ^^;
 
hmm I definitely seem to still be getting already-reviewed posts in my review queue.
I reviewed 3 posts just now and I was sure I had already reviewed one. And only one shows up in my history so it looks like I was right.
 
The queue just doesn't want you to be finished.
 
@Rubiksmoose Got an example ID you haven't re-reviewed? I could poke around. Also curious if metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/data/sql/queries/… has the same problem or not.
 
@Rubiksmoose Was it this post? If so, that's the one which thesecretmaster and I have been testing with. There have been several copies of the post record created as part of that process. At this point, all the copies have been deleted.
 
8:20 PM
@RyanM Part of the problem is that the ID doesn't show in my history and I don't remember the post. But I'll be more vigilant in the future and take note when I suspect.
@Makyen I don't believe so no

but yeah what's the way to do multiline bisects? I've seen it done but I'm not sure how.
 
No idea.

Wait that's a regex? I thought it was modern art.
 
I feel like that wasn't supposed to trigger on Amazon links like this but also I can't read that, so...
Unrelated: does the browser back button not work for going back to a review for anyone else?

@RyanM repro
It acts very strangely.
Or doesn't act as the case may be
 
I typically just open my History and look at my last review to do something like that. Have repro'd before.
 
Also whoooo cracked 1000 barbequeue feedbacks. Next goal: 10% of whatever Rubiksmoose has :-p
or maybe doubling my pre-Barbequeue feedback count, that might be easier...
 
Ay, bouta get to 2k it looks like.

10:54 PM
@Spevacus @Makyen and some disagreement on the feedback 💩 vs. ✔️ for those last two: 1 and 2.
 
I refrained from feedbacking as I'm not entirely sure what to make of it.
 
@Rob Yes, I based my feedback on what Google Translate indicated the content was, not just that it was not in English. A rant being in a language other than English doesn't prevent it from being TP.
 
Rob
#1 seems like random ramblings, #2 seems like it's barely an answer; not a particularly good one, but it did attempt to actually answer the question.
 
OTOH, even if an answer is actually answering the question, if it's not in English, then it's NAA, except on sites where other languages are permitted.

OK. TP for no attempt and wrong language, NAA for somewhat attempted and wrong language. Initially I thought @Spe had offered feedback to one and you the other - and I was inquiring about the difference. Now I note that Mak fedback both. Thanks, that was all.
 
Woah how backed up is the the metasmoke user
 
Shouldn't be backed up anymore. Is it still?

@Makyen That comment was an unhooked reply to @thesecretmaster's comment about MS being behind.
 
@Rob At least to me, #1 was more of a rant, rather than just not an attempt. If it was just something benign then NAA is probably more appropriate.
