@JohnP - I see you found it. :)
I decided to check it out again to see if I could figure out what the hell is going on here.
I think I get the general idea.
 
5:55 AM
The general idea is that spam is getting flagged. :)
 
@NormalHuman That's the impression that I got.
I'm just trying to figure out what the terms mean. So far, I figured out that tpu means delete the post.

@NormalHuman I'm SmokeDetector, a bot that detects spam and low-quality posts on the network and posts alerts to chat. A command list is available here.
 
^ the list of commands should help with that
 
@NormalHuman Thanks! I assume Smoke Detector would ignore me because I'm a regular user, not a mod?
 
5:58 AM
Some commands can be executed by anyone, others only by known users (this is what that list says)
 
@NormalHuman Yeah, I was reading it as you were saying that.

@Doorknob @Emrakul - This is kind of random, but I was reading the transcript of the Puzzling chat room the other day, and I have to say that you guys are frigging saints. I don't know how you put up with the crap that people have been slinging at you. I am impressed by your patience and restraint. If I were in your shoes, I would have banned half the site already.
 
user61230
Thanks :]
 
No problem. I don't know how you deal with it.
 
user61230
It's been a rough couple weeks, and I'm kinda burned out. It's nice to hear, though :]
 
user61230
6:54 AM
I'm just about at my limit, to be fair ;)
 
I was absolutely flabbergasted by the crap that goes on there. It hadn't occurred to me that a site could be so dysfunctional because of a relatively small number problem users.
 
[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword in body: We find the people through by user305137 on meta.stackexchange.com
 
And it's quite clear that you guys are the solution, not the problem.
 
user61230
Heh, thanks, it means a lot :]
 
user61230
And yeah, people tend to underestimate quite how much damage just a couple users can do.
 
user61230
6:57 AM
Oddly enough, it gets easier to manage as the site grows.
 
@Emrakul Especially when one of them is a top user with a loyal cadre of supporters, I would imagine. Although I like the user in question.
But he certainly hasn't been making life easier for you.
I hope the cool off period allows him to learn from his mistakes, and allows the site to come together and get stronger.
 
user61230
[shrug], I know what you mean. There are a number of people that I wish had handled things differently, but it is what it is, y'know?
 
user61230
And I hope so too.
 
@Emrakul Yes. I recently had problems with another user, and even though he was definitely the problem, and I was mostly just a target, I wish I could go back and do things differently.
 
user61230
Yeah, I get that.
 
Anyway, I wanted to tell you (and @Doorknob, and Kevin) how impressed I was with the way you handled everything. I figured you probably don't hear much praise, but you deserve it for what you deal with. And I wanted to say it somewhere that the users wouldn't see it.
Mods make this site work. You don't get enough thanks for that.
 
user61230
Thanks again :] It does mean a lot.
 
Have a good night. And keep fighting the good fight.
 
user61230
Thanks, you too!
 
Although if I were in your shoes, I'd punch out and run away. :)
Take care.

@Undo are you the guy who made this?
 
8:17 PM
@ArtOfCode Made what?
 
@Undo Smokey, and his classification system.
 
@ArtOfCode Oh, that's a collaboration between a lot of people
 
@Undo stats says you wrote most of it :)
 
@ArtOfCode Don't listen to line number stats, that's from when I push the bayesian stats file :P
I mostly just host it, @NormalHuman and @ProgramFOX are wizards.
 
@Undo Ah, right. Anyway, are you the kind of person who can tell me about how to use machine learning and a cache of matching posts to classify posts?
@Pro I've worked with before, and I can testify to his wizardry :)
 
8:21 PM
In my experience, it doesn't work very well
 
Hmm. What systems do work? I want to write myself a spam classifier, but I don't know how to classify spam...
 
Smokey just uses regexes. Lots and lots of regexes.
See chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/17251/smoke-detector-school for examples of bayesian classifying (based on title alone, granted) not working very well
 
Hmmm. I guess chucking all previously found spam posts into a database and basically saying "where post like <DB>" doesn't work?
 
I have a database of posts it's caught, with feedback, if you need me to run something against it
 
@Undo Oh cool. What format is it in?
 
8:26 PM
@ArtOfCode MySQL, but managed by ActiveRecord/Rails
 
@Undo Can I be cheeky and ask for a copy of [some of] it?
 
Gimme a sec
I think that database might have emails in it
but those'd be easy enough to nuke
 
@Undo Ah. Where from? If you can nuke them without too much effort, then that's cool
 
@ArtOfCode metasmoke has login that I can (and did, accidently) turn on.
 
@Undo Whoops. Exclude the users table?
 
8:30 PM
I think I nuked it
 
Ah, good
 
That's an automated backup from yesterday night
With the users table nuked
 
@Undo Appears to download, and it's an SQL file. Lemme import that and see what I get
Appears to import, as well. That'll be interesting data to sift through :)

[ SmokeDetector ] Email in answer: Where can I find private funding/lending? by user5843 on startups.stackexchange.com
 
@ArtOfCode A problem with that approach is that spammers are aware of it and fill their posts with low-frequency words that will normally don't appear in spam. For example:
> Vecame apparent that our original suggestion that higher-order information might interact following split brain surgery was an error not only worry unable to reproduce the original findings but we have been unable to see any sort of interhemispheric interactions even using stabilized images additionally beginning in the early nineteen eighties and continuing until the present our laboratory has examined .
A bayesian filter that classifies the above as spam would hit a bunch of false positives on science sites. But more likely, it wouldn't recognize spam since the set of words changes every time.
 
@NormalHuman ... which leads me to think a neural network is needed (any regression model seemed to not understand context). Although that's way over my head. :P
 
We already have a neural network... each of us does.
I use mine to write regexes. :)

I don't know... if mods want VLQ to be used on such stuff, then we don't need to detect it at all.
It surely goes to LQRQ automatically, or to First Posts in the worst scenario.
