Thank you
Adi
Adi
@MarkBuffalo I am, and it will never get old. Also, that was not a display of my dickiness; it was a benign joke. Just like we wind @Simon up a bit by making fun of something he said or did, we were doing the same to you. It's a two-way street.
When I'm being a dick, it will be very clear.
@Adi @Simon's mom is a two way street, too.
It wouldn't be fair at all if I were to get all the teasing and nobody else would!
Adi
Adi
@MarkB See? Like that.
@HenryWHHack lol gullible much? He's trolling...
20:02
It is true that @Adi is not afraid to call you out if you say/do something stupid.
Adi
Adi
@MickLH No. I'm now actually @Henry's friend.
@Simon and sometimes even if you don't.
@Adi lol shhhh!
Ok I gotta finish this thing, TTYL lads.
20:04
He's not gonna get it, it's gonna inflate his ego back to spaz-mode
Adi
Adi
@Simon We can help you finish it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I got in a fight over KFC.
@Simon goes back to ripping his bong
lol
Adi
Adi
I'd love some fast food now
20:05
Oh look at that, it is happy hour :)
Adi
Adi
Oh man!
If only we had KFC in Finland
#eating KFC
@Adi In Québec we have PFK. Same thing, but in French.
In France it is called KFC.
I'm actually from Kentucky
Adi
Adi
@ThomasPornin In Finland, we have nothing.
We don't have Domino's Pizza
20:07
There is a large monument of the colonel in Corbin Kentucky now haha
What is Obama last name?
Obama IruinedAmerica
Adi
Adi
So, here's the thing.
He's definitely not a troll
He's too idle to be a troll
@Adi pls you have pizza hut
Adi
Adi
@RоryMcCune We do? I thought we only have Kotipizza
20:10
@Adi I'm betting on markov-chain bot
@Adi next to the cinema in Helsinki is a pizza hut, they have a all-you-can-eat buffet
Adi
Adi
@RоryMcCune On no!! You went to Rax, didn't you?
@RоryMcCune I'll take this bet, the spew is too consistently stupid to be completely random
@Adi what's Rax?
@MickLH thus markov-chain , those bots can produce almost sensible sounding stuff sometimes
@RоryMcCune are we talking about Trump now?
cause I think he's broken...
@AviD lolz hey now that's not way to talk about the future president of the USA
20:12
@AviD There is no known way to make hair look like that. This must be genuine.
@RоryMcCune I could see it implemented as a markov chain for the output, but the chain weights would have to be generated by some more advanced algorithm
@ThomasPornin heh
@MickLH now it's posting its e-mail address
Something that specifically can gauge what comments would be stupid to make, and prefers those
ok which one of you wise-guys coded a chat.se bot
Adi
Adi
20:13
Actually, this is the message that made me think he's a bot
Anyone want the password
Ooooh, a blue mark !
I'm just trying to buy us all a 15 minutes break ;)
why is everyone flagging that? who cares?
Pretty !
20:14
@HenryWHHack hey henry, how much wood would a wood-chuck chuck if a wood-chuck could chuck wood?
@HenryWHHack hey henry, how much wood would a wood-chuck chuck if a wood-chuck could chuck wood?
Jon
Jon
stopp flagging everything its triggering my PC rage
lmfao jon you silly goose go back to gamedev
if you jeggers bring in a modflood I will donutslap the lot of you
2
@AviD I don't much but apparently people started talking about it, and appears to be a distraction
OH DAMN HERE IT COMES
20:15
@TildalWave are you flagging all the thigns?
hello travellers
FYI all incoming mods - it is being handled
(aka foreign mods)
welcome to the DMZ
Jon
Jon
Flag is so ... flaggy
we appear to have a bot
don't worry
Jon
Jon
should be renamed.
20:16
@TildalWave really. You are worried about a distraction. In the DMZ.
the nice tigger has it all under control
at least we wont have to deal with @kalina because she hates me so much
look at him bounce on stuff
Jon
Jon
I love that man
@RоryMcCune theres another tigger here??
20:17
I remain curious why anyone thought those bot messages were in need of flagging
Adi
Adi
What the poop just happened?!
@Adi still trying to find out.
Isn't this what happens to every flag?
Jon
Jon
are we allowed to say poop in here?
@MickLH she's not in dude, you need to vanquish the @Simon monster to release the fair princess @kalina
Jon
Jon
20:17
might have to flag my own message... ugh
is there really a bot here? or is someone just being an annoying git?
@Jon depends on context.
@AviD personally not much but apparently people started talking about it, and appears to be a distraction
@Jon lol, that would... not be the worst thing I've seen in here today
Adi
Adi
My chat window refreshed and I got that
20:17
@Jon like, are you at the top of a boat?
Jon
Jon
lol
@RоryMcCune wait lol are you saying she actually does avoid the place because of someone annoying?
what's going on?
@AviD I'm reasonable sure that @HenryWHHack is a bot
Jon
Jon
i'm sitting awkwardly on a chair/footstool
20:18
@MickLH that's what she said yep
Jon
Jon
She is a poop starter :)
@AaronHall some possibly excessive flagging based on a bot in the room
@AviD I see you have it well in hand. I'll show myself out :)
@RоryMcCune havent really been paying attention. if everyone can shuddup for a few minutes, I can track it down...
@Ixrec not the specific ones, the load of them, just random and persistent noise that bears no significance to anything being talked about here
20:19
@AviD pls, that would make your life waaaay too easy
why flag a bot?
@terdon naw, man, stay a while, hang out for a bit.
@TildalWave Bears. You said bears.
@AaronHall thats what I'm trying to figure out!
@AaronHall I'm not sure, some people thought it was a good plan
20:19
Ah, the verb. Sorry.
Jon
Jon
lol...
@AaronHall it did post its e-mail address in room and ask if anyone wanted the password
In an infosec room? You kidding? You'll eat me for breakfast!
@AaronHall If you get enough flags, it can be suspended...
20:19
@ThomasPornin :)
:27944222 yeah okay that was well over the line.
@Ixrec I flagged them, because that user needed to be silenced. It was successful:
> This user has been automatically suspended for posting inappropriate content and cannot chat for 26 minutes.
Now everybody can move on.
so this is how to make a room on chat.SE busy!
@PreferenceBean yay!
It's also a very good way to get it timed out. Time to calm down, people.
20:20
@PreferenceBean no mods around to ask?
Jon
Jon
what is this room about anyways?
4 mins ago, by AviD
FYI all incoming mods - it is being handled
Jon
Jon
ponies and pyros.. wtf
Everything had the desired effect. Nothing to see here!
@Jon That is a good question....
20:20
@PreferenceBean Next time, please ping one of the local mods or room owners and ask them to kick the offending user. Remember that flags (and especially spam/offensive flags) are the big guns. And they are shown to everyone network wide which is usually a bad thing.
2
@Jon the description is relatively accurate
@Jon security and lots of other stuff
@PreferenceBean and now it's being handled by even more people.
Jon
Jon
fair enough.
@terdon A mod had been sat on the conversation for a while already. Clearly that was insufficient. Otherwise I'd have left it.
20:21
@ArtOfCode whuddup?
eh. eh. eh. calm down calm down.
1 min ago, by PreferenceBean
4 mins ago, by AviD
FYI all incoming mods - it is being handled
The first flag wasn't me, but someone who indeed triggered the annoyance that you're right flags cause! So casting more was a quick way to put a stop to it.
hth
@PreferenceBean That's you, @AviD. Apparently you are called a slacker.
let's not start kicking people
Jon
Jon
20:22
yay, i got a star on the board in the DMZ!! woot woot
@RоryMcCune haha you sound just like someone I know doing an impression of someone else I know. word for word :)
@Jon Pffft, I got me two!
@PreferenceBean no, I'm too busy dealing with you and your ilk.
@AviD you kicked me dude?
@AviD Erm, excuse me?
20:22
This room was placed in timeout for 2 minutes; the topic of this room is "A special place where bears are ursine overlords, ponies are pyros, gender checks are not carried out through brain surgery and mods are self-censoring... non-Sec.SE mods please consult the local team before considering bans :) PS we don't do hardware/software support" - conversation should be limited to that topic.
@AviD If offensive messages are being left up, it's not being handled.
@TildalWave no, I was looking to unkick you.
@PreferenceBean are they from Liverpool by any chance?
user41796
@ArtOfCode Earlier message wasn't offensive, just an email address. Follow-up flag was offensive.
@GlenH7 Not that one.
20:23
@ArtOfCode yeah not really anything offensive there.
except for the modflood.
I'm soo glad @kalina isn't here at the moment, she'd have a mod-attack!
@AviD I don't know who it was directed at, but calling anyone a troll ain't Nice.
@RоryMcCune duuuude, dont call her in here
@ArtOfCode except for trolls.
not sure what you're referring to though, I'm still trying to catch up.
@AviD pls she's been @ pinged like 10 times in the last hour, she's out duff duff duff'in I'd bet
@AviD Trolls you silently remove. You don't insult them.
20:24
can all the non-secse mods please just leave?
That's not how chat works
unless you were here before
Jon
Jon
i'm secse
thank you
yo i pinged rory the room owner over this since he was first in the list. i tried to do the right thing and stop the invading tide of blue
20:25
@Ohnana That's not the right thing.
@ArtOfCode sure. I'm trying to sort it out, if the modflood can calm down a bit
@Ohnana unfort I can only kick for one min. doesn't really do the job
@ArtOfCode yes, yes it is.
This flagging system seems to be peculiarly weak to drama storms.
@RоryMcCune was not aware of the restriction. next time i'll grab a diamond
@ArtOfCode ? enlighten me then
20:26
Flooding into a room you know nothing about, and are not at all familiar with the culture, trying to enforce your own subjective opinions, is not a good idea.
@ArtOfCode and you seem to have this tendency to go around Se chat rooms and tell people what you think is appropriate when you're barely ever there otherwise ... please stop this
Jon
Jon
some people consider a flag a good thing... american for example.
@Ohnana I'm afraid my powers are somewhat limited... unlike the boundless might of .... THE MOD SQUAD
user41796
@Ohnana Also keep in mind that a diamond can edit the post to remove the information. Then it can be purged from the comment history too
Jon
Jon
so if i see flag.. i'm like, sure why not.
20:26
@TildalWave That's what being a moderator is. I'm not about to stop it.
@ThomasPornin yeah, there are many MSE posts I agree with about how flags generally cause more problems than they solve
:27944566 dude this likely isn't a good time for self-expression ....
I used to be one just a few weeks ago until I got enough of some SO trolls, mods included
Jon
Jon
the issue is that non-channel mods come in.. and act like dictators
@TildalWave it may be wise to wait till the all go away :)
20:27
@Ixrec Yeah, but here we deal with information security; we don't try to solve such problems, we wonder how we could escalate them to nuclear proportions.
2
hey why are all the new people showing up
you gotta admit the SE chatrooms are pretty clean as far as internet chat rooms go
Jon
Jon
i came for the flags.
we've not had flags for a minute or two...
Jon
Jon
stayed for the batshit craziness
20:28
@ThomasPornin oooooh, so that's why this is the only chatroom I've ever seen argue that flags result in a hostile takeover from foreign mods
@Jon hah fair enough :)
we've got loads of that
user41796
@Ixrec I dunno about the only room... :-P
@GlenH7 i'm aware. i missed the message that set all this off
@GlenH7 keyword "I've", I'm sure you've seen more
i tried to grab someone to do the helpful when the commentary devolved into letter mashing :P
20:29
@Ixrec There are others that will also result in huge arguments about it.
@Ixrec the local mods a relatively good at keeping things under control whilst allowing a relatively good level of free expression :)
probably the worst would be the TL
user41796
@Ohnana FWIW, I normally fix things through the transcript and don't drop into the room. I only stopped by because I saw a few other regulars I know who were chatting.
@GlenH7 well, it's fine to come and stay a while
@Ohnana it didn't go pete tong till the bot posted it's e-mail address
and I think I know who's bot it was too
20:30
it's not a treefort, and we don't circle the wagons at the first sign of newcomers
although said personage is now conspicuous by their absence
@Ixrec You haven't seen much then.
@Ohnana we don't.... Aww....
@RоryMcCune Technically it posted an email address, whose ownership is not guaranteed.
@RоryMcCune rory we talked about this!
20:30
@ThomasPornin true
@Ohnana And you call yourselves security experts! Why, anyone could walk right in then!
@Ohnana but I like circling the wagons!
@terdon We have mitigation.
@Arperum @Ixrec And meta posts, even.
@ThomasPornin That's what they all say.
20:31
@terdon and what might you call yourself?
@terdon we use the donut authentication protocol to decide if someone is friend or foe :)
@Ohnana "Speak Friend , and enter"?
WTF?
again
please
@TildalWave Various things, none of them security related. I don't know the first thing about what you guys do.
@RоryMcCune In fact the good reason to edit email addresses away is precisely that it could be the address of somebody else, who might be unhappy about that.
20:32
if you're here to resolve flags, please pay attention that there aren't any
thank you
People. Next time you are tempted to start flagging things as a game - just don't.
@Ohnana Oh come on, even I know that one is full of holes!
Mm'kay?
@terdon Rest assured that we don't know either.
@ThomasPornin possibly although TBH e-mail addresses should be considered public information from a practical perspective.
@ThomasPornin if it had managed to post the password, that would've been a different story
20:33
@RоryMcCune I agree, and that's why my email address is certainly not secret. But there are many people out there who don't think that way, especially for their own address.
@terdon :D
@ThomasPornin Actually, as luck would have it, I was reading a very good and clear answer of yours about /dev/random vs /dev/urandom`. Cleared it right up, thanks!
@AviD directions unclear, carpet-flagged everything
what do???
@ThomasPornin true although I'd suggest they're in for disappointment, given the rate of pwnage these days
@RоryMcCune That's called being polite. You don't go around telling ugly people that they are ugly.
20:36
@ThomasPornin possibly, but a recipe for disappoint still
@ThomasPornin right. You should also not tell the ugly people that you cant make jokes about their looks since they're probably sensitive about it.
Learned that one the hard way.
@Jolenealaska oh hey you're the one who did the avocado science
@RоryMcCune He. The whole story of mankind.
great post :)
@ThomasPornin If we had a working anti-spam technique, we wouldn't need to keep them secret.
20:40
@CodesInChaos Speaking of which, spamming levels have slowly decreased in the last decade.
I have my own SMTP server, with no uplink filter. I can count spams. Ten years ago I was receiving about 400 par day; this has trickled down to about 100.
@ThomasPornin interesting. wonder why spam is going down
That sounds like a good thing. Is there a nefarious twist like "instead they've gotten better at auto-generating spear phishing emails"?
I suppose that the return of investment for spamming has decreased, with big ISP applying better filters, and also a substantial proportion of Internet users not even having an email address anymore.
@Ohnana Yep, that was me
@RоryMcCune That is so you
20:43
@ThomasPornin er what? a lot of social media sites require an email
I heard that email is almost as old-fashion as fax. Right now it is Facebook messaging or die.
Also, speaking of hacking... I have a set of email addresses set up to alert me of hacks in advance
@ThomasPornin I think even that's on the way out in favour of whatsapp and friends
@Ohnana Any technical email address would be kept only for technical needs, such as registration on sites, but not consulted on a regular basis.
@Ohnana Thank you :)
20:44
the social chatter is moving around a lot but all the other purposes that email is good for it's still being used for
@ThomasPornin fair point
seriously, the next one to start a flagflood and make go into the TL again, Imma kickslap him myself.
@Jolenealaska it would be useful if there were ever any leftover avocado in my house >.>
@ThomasPornin pls, Facebook messaging... you old fogey
@AviD i wish flags had a graduated approach
20:45
@AviD did you have to go and report to the big boys and girls?
@RоryMcCune "report", no
give the local mod team like 1 hr to respond, then escalate to other mods, then to 10kers
storm in and toss some chairs around
user41796
@RоryMcCune Just threw some smack down. That's all.
TIGGER_SMACK_DOWN!
20:45
idfk why 10k ppl can respond to flags, it's not like they can kick people or respond meaningfully
@Ohnana the problem is chat is immediate. If there are actual attacks going on - as they thought it was - it shouldnt wait, even if no local mods are presently in the room
and staring at the right window
@Ohnana There's never any in mine either, and I live alone. The hardest part of those experiment was watching the death of perfectly good avocados.
@AviD what kind of attack in chat requires someone to respond RITE NAO!!!!
@Ohnana yeah that really adds to the dramaflood
@Ohnana pls, should I take off @Simon's leash?
@AviD I don't even have a Facebook account.
user41796
20:47
@Ohnana Some things go way past the line and need to be dealt with immediately
@Jolenealaska this is why spoons were invented -- to put avocados out of their misery :P
kidding, he's actually rather tame (usually). but there are others...
@GlenH7 true, but the immediate stop-gap is to put the offender on ignore and notify a moderator
then they can follow up with long-term impact
141
Q: Add escalation system to chat flags

Mad ScientistThe offensive/spam flags in chat are shown to every moderator from a parent site (on chat.stackexchange.com that is every SE 2.0 moderator, more than 200 right now) and 10k chat users as well. This is potentially far more users than a flag on an SE site itself is shown to. I don't think it is n...

@Ohnana its not always that simple
user41796
20:48
^^^ That
@AviD could you give an example? I don't follow
@AviD Chat can play sounds (e.g. when you are responded to). Maybe the powers-that-be could implement a special sound in case of flag (Wagner or Verdi would be appropriate) ?
@Ohnana Two words: rape jokes
@ThomasPornin hehe
@terdon how does ignoring/hiding the user to give mods a chance to step in not adequately solve the problem? what if it was 15mins?
20:49
@Ohnana that. Or torches and pitchforks. That tends to snowball.
@Ohnana The idea is that some things are just too offensive to allow to hang around.
@AviD that's a good example
@Ohnana because you only ignore for yourself. not always enough.
@terdon fair enough
what if flags had a DEFCON level?
1. ew that's not okay 2. EW that's totally out of line! 3. HOLY **** CALL THE PRESIDENT
@terdon not just that, usually once it rolls off the screen its permanent (not really, but aint noone got time fo dat)
20:51
That would be great but who decides it? I saw the word penis flagged the other day. Some people have a very low tolerance for "offensive".
@AviD That too.
@terdon YOU SAID "OFFENSIVE"!!
user41796
@Ohnana I don't know that a level has been suggested. You might consider adding that to the MSE post linked above about flag escalation
Why is @GlenH7 still here?
i think the common problem is that people are stupid and we should ban them all from SE
2
20:51
I will bow out now gracefully, I see plenty of blue here :) Back to The Frying Pan where I belong!
all hail smoke detector
user41796
@MickLH Because chat rooms are public? And I'm enjoying the conversation with the others here.
@MickLH cuz they're chillin
@Jolenealaska cheers!
20:52
@MickLH why are YOU here? don't you have ragdolls to flop about with? ;)
@MickLH he is very welcome here!
I'm just trying to make him feel accepted here guys pony!
If nobody gave him shit, we are basically saying he can't handle the room
so yeah, we do have a fuzzy line about outright profanity... some of the mods tend to modedit that out
I will admit I have a problem with that
@MickLH no worries. you can learn.
@terdon o_O
20:54
Where if I'm on the fence about cursing, but I see people who might take offense to it, I become sure I will curse in that instance.
@AviD Sorry, couldn't resist.
it IS fuzzy. Sometimes it is appropriate. :P
Youse are all a load of pure gallas bams
The basic rule about profanity is that while it may be acceptable in certain contexts, it is never acceptable when directed at someone.
3
see the key to swearing in room is to make in unintelligable to everyone else :)
20:55
@MickLH yeah its not even really about taking offense, its more keeping a modicum of profesionalism. Which is rather amusing to say here.
@terdon well said.
So, you guys may have a room that allows profanity if used as an exclamation, but nobody gets to use it to actively insult anyone. Room culture notwithstanding.
@terdon i'm okay with that
@terdon yup
@RоryMcCune are you sneezing or insulting me in scottish
Which is not to say that some 10kers or mods won't validate silly flags against things like hell yeah or whatnot, but you know you're over the line if you directly insult someone.
20:56
i'm not sure
@terdon omfg. that's adorable.
user41796
@Ohnana both
@Ohnana the latter although it wasn't actually directed at you... :)
someone said H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEYSTICKS!!!!
which reminds me
@AviD E.g. when you want to talk about the gene that encodes for the L-Fuculokinase enzyme. It is the fucK gene.
20:57
that's probably one of more glaswegian things on the Internet
@ThomasPornin looks around, trying to find Gene
@ThomasPornin or that place in Thaliand called Fuckit.
(NSFW if you understand glaswegian)
@terdon but it was simon!
Oh well, that's different then.
20:58
@MickLH not different. @Simon is a protected species.
right?! my suspension was completely unjust
See what I did there? Sure I insulted him, but I did it endearingly.
@AviD Why do we protect it if we can't eat it?
To hunt for fun.
So lets not go overboard on that protection shit
Anyway, I leave you all to discuss your security arcana in the very capable paws of Avid.
2
I got a nickel defense against all that offense
20:59
"capable"
