fp- feedback received on [MS] ASP.NET Web API using Entity Framework error within controller

I had some spare time and decided I would see how many watches each blacklister had in the list. I grabbed the list of blacklisters and the raw watched_keywords file, parsed it and here are the results! First, Makyen has a staggering 8695 watchlist items, followed only by tripleee with 5246. Coming in third is Glorfindel at 1690 and Eliah Kagan at 1312.

Here's a pie chart to illustrate how much of the watchlist each person makes up.

@SmokeDetector edited to "......................................deleted................................", custom-flagged to explain

@Spevacus whooo I made it on the chart :D

/o/

That's very cool. Can you share the raw numbers as well?

@cigien Yup! Here's the raw data, in the form of a Google Sheets doc.

Thanks.

I used C# to parse the text file and manually grabbed a list of all of the blacklisters via the related whois command and tossed it into a spreadsheet file. Someone else could probably do better than I at illustrating it (I just used Sheets' table tool) but there's that!

I had initially planned on grabbing everyone (all privileged users) and comparing it to the watchlist, but I quickly noticed that not every user in users.yml uses the same name as the comment next to their IDs indicates. I suppose I could yoink all users from rooms.yml as most privileged usernames are there, but I actually only thought of that just now... So, hey.

@SmokeDetector f domain doesn't actually go anywhere.

@Spevacus I'm looking forward to seeing those results when you have spare time next ;)

One of the issues is that some users like changing their usernames. When someone adds something to the watchlist, it takes their current username from the chat parent of the user sending it at the time. For example, Sonic very frequently changes his name and submits more than a couple of watches (46 at the moment), and I have no way of tracking each user's username changes if I'm doing this all manually. For the known outliers I can make exceptions (matching against only "Sonic") but...

I'm not sure how effective that would be if quite a few users have changed their name between watchlist items.

Oh, I wonder how common it is for users to change their usernames. Seems like something one wouldn't want to do often. At least I wouldn't.

Something I'd also be interested in is how many TP's watches on behalf of each watch author have been produced. However that's getting into using the data exploders on MS and I am nooot proficient with SQL or any of that stuff (It's on the "I need to learn this" list, though!). Plus it would likely be a huge list of regexes (associated with their author) that would take MS forever to search for TP's for and count.

@Spevacus I've vaguely toyed with the idea of "scoring" rules by their contribution to both good and bad detections. So for instance, a post detected solely because of a watch would give that watch full credit (for TP) or penalty (for FP) for detecting it, but if it only contributed 1 extra point to a 600+ weight post, it'd get far less credit/penalty.

definitely won't have time for that in the near future, though.

@RyanM Sounds awesome but very time consuming, hahaha.

If I do do it, it'll be by re-using code from SD.

@Makyen The previous instance of MetaSmoke was taking over a minute to load the [MS] links; I was going to report it but there was a reboot, which mostly fixed the problem. Now it takes over 4 seconds, which is still too slow (but much better); here's an example link, and another (which took 19 seconds). Thanks.

@Rob OK. I'm glad to hear that it's working better. I'm not sure what you mean by a reboot, but I get the feeling you mean the "Executing automatic scheduled reboot" messages in chat. Those messages indicate that the respective SmokeDetector instance is rebooting, not MS.

Yes, the chat messages seem close together. The "bug" (complaint) was that clicking on an [MS] link took forever to load, but now it's almost instantly.

This took 6 seconds.

This is almost instant. - Seems wildly inconsistent.

@cigien Why the heck is the Ministry of Electronics & IT spamming us!?

It is a government website

God now my government is a spammer

This is frustrating metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/…

Well, our government's been guilty of worse :( Looks like it was watched about 6 months ago first time it popped up. I'm not sure, it certainly has the feel of a .in website.

Does asking why they are doing this come under the RTI?

@Yatin Are you sure you're not thinking of digitalindia.gov.in?

Well, that would explain it :)

Ah, they're faking the "gov" by merging it with digitalindia. Didn't even spot that.

That's brutal.

My blood is literally boiling.

Don't spammers sometimes use legitimate gov sites as well? Maybe that would make them trolls.

If they can manage to get their content on there in the form of an article, forum post, etc. they'll definitely try to spam it.

I wonder if the government knows about this.

I might email them (official website)

This looks like phishing

That's not a bad idea.

Also if we're on the topic of government websites being used for spam, here's one from my state government: metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/272204

(it was compromised by spammers)

It wasn't long ago that a legitimate college's website was spammed. I think someone actually pointed it out to me as I watched it, and I dug a bit. The spammer used a forums section to post their spam and then spammed that on SE.

Wow

That is sick

it looks like the website is now just offline, at least, instead of hosting keto spam...

@Spevacus Yeah, it was me. University of Toronto I think.

Thought it was you.

Spammers suck. :(

Yeah, here. I was very surprised to see that. I think it was my first time though, I'm getting less surprised seeing stuff like that as time goes on :p

My university's domain appears twice on metasmoke, but both are false positives. phew.

Now I'm scared to check mine :(

For the CA gov one, I watched it like this:

!!/bisect calgovcouncil.org

@RyanM 'cagovcouncil.org' is not caught by a blacklist or watchlist item.

@RyanM Matched by calgovcouncil\.org(?#currently appears to be hacked by keto spammers, remove this watch if it looks anything like a government website when you check it) on line 24429 of watched_keywords.txt

It's no longer hacked by keto spammers, but also still doesn't look like a government website, so who knows who's really in control of it...

:O

Oh, I hadn't thought of adding a comment to the regex itself. That's a very nice idea, thanks.

True.

@cigien weird that they consistently misspell Bangalore but probably an excellent hint

Yeah, and a misspelling like that doesn't inspire confidence in the college :p

they are not alone, 428 results across Stack Exchange

There are quite a few variations in spellings in place names like that actually. Though I don't recall seeing that particular one.

misspelling it in Duck Duck Go still only brings up pages whose title has the official spelling; one approved alternative is Bengaluru apparently but none of the ones I checked seemed to actually contain the typo

Looking at the first few results on SE, the usernames that are recognizable are all Indian. Or subcontinent at least. "Banglore" would actually be a reasonable way to misspell it, since that's how one would say it. The second "a" is not generally pronounced.

@tripleee OK, thanks. I wasn't sure if that was a good enough reason.

People don't always like my approach to using SD as basically a tool that can work for me specifically.

@CodyGray The profile has 2 TP already and the latest post is not stellar. It's fine to add them back. If they post FPs again, they'll get unblacklisted.

@CodyGray I'm still up for discussing a separate instance without the spam filtering rules if you want to explore that, though I'm not sure how much time I can spend on that; but I can certainly host it and probably get it set up for you

I really don't have the time at the moment. I trade sleep for moderation as it is. I don't need a justification for more.

But thanks for the offer. Maybe someday.

if we agree that this is something which could be more broadly useful, I can certainly look into tearing out the findspam.py guts and running a separate instance in another room

@CodyGray Native English speakers would. It's just pronounced differently by speakers of different languages.
