^ Note that unfortunately there are a few FPs (I found two on SE, possibly a few more), and 1FP and 1 TP on MS. Given how many other things would catch that post, IDK if we should even watch this domain. Feel free to remove it if it is problematic, I'm also going to make a note to check back on that watch in a few weeks and see if it's generating FPs

@JeffSchaller Please get rid of the troll Berodrito Pembrunk.
 
They cant do much other than flagging since they only have mod on Unix I belive
 
@Ethan They can.
They have a private Mods chat-room.
They can escalate and ban site-wide.
 
what else? I cant think of anything other than asking the mods
 
Because this troll is site-wide.
In the first place, I do not understand why this troll was not banned site-wide since december. The behaviour goes back to middle of last year.
 
2:51 AM
@user21820 I spoke to a Meta SE mod the other day and they raised a CM escalation regarding them. With luck, it will be handled soon.
 
@Spevacus Thank you very much!

@Ethan It is, but the maximum number of autoflags for Science Fiction & Fantasy is set to 3. As I recall, Science Fiction & Fantasy objected to SD/MS raising more than 3 auto-flags on any post. I don't recall the link to the discussion on their meta, but you could search for it if you're interested.
 
Thanks @Makyen @cocomac
 
@cocomac Yep, that would be the one. As I recall, there's quite a bit of deleted content there, as it was significantly more contentious than it now appears from my quick scan. I also wish I'd reiterated the point in comments there that humans are << 99.99% accurate and thus the argument of "that's not good enough to trust to a bot, I'd rather a human do it" is really just "I'm afraid of automation and I want humans, who are substantially worse at this task to do it".
I also find it amusing to reread some of those older posts and see a comment that I agree with and want to upvote, but then notice that I'm the one that wrote it. I guess at least I'm mostly consistent. :)
OTOH, there are some times when I've gone "what the bleep was I thinking here?" :)

@Makyen "Damn this guy really knows what he's talking about! What's his name? ... Oh."
 
@Spevacus :)

@Ethan Use your judgement. Don't go wild. Ease into it. Ask questions if you're unsure.

@Spevacus The substantive bit, which I don't think Phillippe will mind if I disclose, is that not only does he personally notice and appreciate the efforts made by this organization, but that he actively shows these efforts to others in the company (e.g., new hires, management, etc.). While a "thanks" is always appreciated (and, as Machavity already said, too often forgotten), to me, increased recognition/awareness is even more important to ensure that we continue to get the support we need (as we did in 2022).

@CodyGray That pattern may be a North American number. If it is, please use a format which starts with an optional 1 followed by possible separator text and has the main number in the format 900-472-4444 where - could be a single alpha character or any [\W_]*+. Alternately, you can add the comment (?#IS NorAm) to the end of the pattern to force also using the alternate normalized form, or (?#NO NorAm) if it's not a North American phone number and it's incorrectly recognized as one. Perhaps try !!/watch-number 900-472-4444. Append -force to the command word(s) if you really want to add the pattern you provided.

Are you seeing something there that I'm not, @tripleee? I marked that as a FP, thinking it was just a misguided user's attempt to ask a question.
 
@CodyGray hmmm, I was on the fence there, the off-site solicitation looked vaguely like recruiting but I guess with that removed at least this is just FP junk
 
Yeah, it's definitely borderline, and I'd want future instances of it caught.
I guess that makes it TP here, but was thinking to dispute the spam flag.

Yes I did both downvote and flag it. I usually do that before coming here.

@CodyGray Is it possible to have a blacklist only apply to certain sites? I imagine if you exempt Arqade, there would be very few FPs for the Roblox domain.
 
It is, but only by editing the Python code directly, not by using the blacklist.
And, I don't think that's true; the domain gets a lot of use on Stack Overflow.
