[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Mostly punctuation marks in body (26): Music metadata?‭ by l camoraessi‭ on stackoverflow.com
 
5:54 PM
@Cow That one... has been edited by a mod. I think the only choice now is to mod-flag it...
 
@GeneralGrievance User is blacklisted (142630 on webmasters.stackexchange.com).
 
Cow
thanks for heads up
retracted
 
It would still be TP because of AI, though.
 
6:04 PM
@GeneralGrievance Where in the feedback guidance does it say that AI makes it TP?
Oh, bloody hell. When did that section get added...
I'm sorry.
Summary: AI is to be treated as plagiarism which is tp.

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad ns for domain in body, potentially bad keyword in body (2): Looking to elevate your website design game?‭ by digitalzen‭ on meta.SE
 
> Note that we’re not aiming to catch plagiarism.
 
@Mast Would be nice if we had something for that though.
 
@GeneralGrievance There are projects aimed at looking at AI.
 
6:07 PM
There's... a lot on SO.
(I mean regular plagiarism.)
 
I don't know if you know the term 'scope creep', but it's a problem for Smokey.
 
Yeah. I don't think Smokey as it is now would be well-suited for that task anyway.
My methods are all manual: copy paste into google, see what I get.
It's extremely tedious. The user I'm currently looking at has over 1k answers.
I have 600+ users left to investigate (and growing)
 
I can imagine.

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Manually reported answer (93): Best ways to test a responsive website‭ by M3Web‭ on stackoverflow.com
 
@Fastnlight You do know you can simply report the post, right?
 
I can't
I don't have privs
 
6:48 PM
Oh, I'll look into that.
 
Do we need endorsements? I'll sign one =P
 
Apparently you have the Flagger role and none other.
Perhaps you need Reviewer as well.
> Everyone who has SmokeDetector privileges is eligible to get the reviewer role. However, this process is not automatic, so you will need to sign up for a metasmoke account so that an admin can grant it to you.
 
I don't have SD privileges
 
Do you have an MS account?
 
!!/amiprivileged
 
6:51 PM
@Fastnlight ╳ You are not a privileged user. Please see the privileges wiki page for information on what privileges are and what is expected of privileged users.
 
@Mast Yes
 
Ofcourse, or you wouldn't have Flagger privs either...
@Makyen It's not spelled out in the Commands or Privileges pages, but I suspect people need Reviewer role to report posts. Is this correct?
 
@Mast To report via the !!/report command, you need SD privs. To report via the MS API, you need reviewer
 
@Fastnlight SD privs is not a role though.
 
6:53 PM
@Mast It's via the users.yml file on the SD repo
SD privs aren't through MS
 
@Fastnlight That shorthand command produced an error when I tried to parse it.
 
Oh, is that all?
Moment please.
 
@Mast No. You also need to update rooms.yml too (I believe. Don't quote me on that)
 
@Mast No, they only need SD privileges to report a post via chat. However, I believe they need Reviewer if they are attempting to report the post via the MS API.
 
PR#10722 ("Update users.yml") opened by MastSE
 
7:00 PM
@Makyen If you'd kindly check I haven't screwed up PR#10722, that should take care of it then.
 
@Mast No, it doesn't. Both users.yml and rooms.yml need to be updated in order to initially give someone SD privileges.
 
[ SmokeDetector ] GitHub Actions: success on 55a2f6e by MastSE in the patch-2 branch
 
@Makyen Basically that's just a matter of adding 26518992 to the list then.
I can do that next.
 
@Mast OTOH, it is normal to also give the Reviewer role on MS when giving someone SD privileges.
 
PR#10723 ("Update rooms.yml") opened by MastSE
 
7:07 PM
There's part 2 then.
 
@Mast I assume that by making the PRs you, as a moderator, are vouching for the user. Is that correct?
 
@Makyen If that's something I can do, I do not know how.
@Makyen I do.
I'll find them the bricks bit.
 
[ SmokeDetector ] GitHub Action workflow build (3.8): failure on c5af781 by MastSE in the patch-1 branch
[ SmokeDetector ] GitHub Action workflow build (3.12): failure on c5af781 by MastSE in the patch-1 branch
 
Oh bother.
I was about to tell you ready when you are.
But patch-1 has been obsolete for 2 weeks. That was about a different issue...
 
@metasmoke These failures will be because you can't add a user entry in rooms.yml without a corresponding entry for the user in users.yml. That, effectively, means that when adding the entries via the GitHub UI, you can't have CI pass without the users.yml change already being merged prior to the rooms.yml change being submitted as a PR. cc @Mast

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Blacklisted website in answer, potentially bad asn for hostname in answer, potentially bad ns for domain in answer (96): Create order programmatically in Magento‭ by Avesh Bond‭ on stackoverflow.com
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad ip for hostname in body (1): ubuntu block access via ip‭ by Tülay Kurtay‭ on askubuntu.com
 
@Makyen So, they would've passed if 10722 had been merged before I submitted 10723?
Or do you mean they should've been part of the same PR?
Or either would work, now I think about it.
 
@SmokeDetector tpu User has linked account on Magento SE which has spammed that exact domain.
 
@GeneralGrievance Registered answer as true positive and blacklisted user.
 
@SmokeDetector Also, this "Mike Bond" author of the article has a url https://learningmagento.com/author/aveshbond/
 
sdc report magento.stackexchange.com/a/372939 "Link posted the same day the article was published; user has form for posting this site. Custom flagged"
 
@DavidW User also links the blog in their GitHub
 
Oh, good. a sockpuppet.
 
@SmokeDetector They also have 2 other answers linking the site (and many past deleted answers...) but the two others aren't quite as link only
 
7:29 PM
I don't think that 1.2k rep is going to survive the ordeal.
 
Theres also this one (undisclosed): magento.stackexchange.com/a/372805/113805
 
Well presumably it'll end up at about 900
 
If they make me a mod in their next election, there will be some major cleanup on that SE.

Ah wait that was the one @GeneralGrievance just posted... I was looking at some of my old flags on the magento site and saw that person had a new post
 
Yeah, I don't remember how we proved affiliation, but I think it was linkedin.
 
My flag was about a voting ring they were in with a couple of other enthusiastic linkers of that site
 
There's three users all the the surname "Nayyar" that are very keen on scommerce-mage
 
@SmokeDetector Just so we have a record, this linkedin profile proves affiliation: linkedin.com/in/jatin-nayyar-437132171/?originalSubdomain=in
 
@Makyen Is there anything you need me to do on those PRs?
 
Doing curation tasks on SE puts a really bad taste in my mouth for anything involving "SEO."
