Happy UTC New Year!
5
 
@NormalHuman All of the giant ones used for pattern matching, specifically all of these
 
^ This is how I noticed the beginning of New Year...
 
'15 looks so weird :/
 
@KevinBrown But those are simply lists. They are joined into a regex by "|".join(list).
@Undo Not only that, but didn't SE omit year number when the date is less than one year in the past? I'm confused.
 
@NormalHuman I was seeing Jan x '15 yesterday.
Maybe 6 months?
 
12:05 AM
Dec 3 is less than 1 month ago.
 
Right, but it's in a different year
I have no idea :P
 
@NormalHuman There are quite a few of them which are pretty unreadable if you aren't used to looking at them. I'll admit, after a few rounds of cleaning up it is looking slightly better than it used to
 
Okay, but you don't have to look at them. Just add a word to the list. If we are talking about bad keywords. Or add a URL pattern to the list, if we are talking about that.
The !!/test command checks whether something already matches existing rules.

:)
 
12:33 AM
@NormalHuman Pushed more tests for the chat side of the world. I still need to do the tp/tpu side of things, but that requires more work. Or perhaps... maybe I could just mock it...
 
@hichris123 So, should we pull and see CI crumble?
Or, it built already.
 
yeah.
 
Pull doesn't trigger CI
yeah
 
They're not livetests, so it only increased the time slightly.
 
12:36 AM
Looks like everything's peachy with chat communication, then.
 
"slightly" = 1 sec -> 1.5 seconds
 
I'll be AFK until probably tomorrow next year, so don't try to pull anything that breaks everything ;)
 
tomorrow next year

This is the best arrangement, I think. When the sole reason is all-caps, the posts aren't reported to the Tavern, keeping the noise to the minimum (i.e. to this room).
 
I see he hasn't stopped yet

Yes, but only 9 at a time! :(

Nothing.
 
You can do 9k 9k 9k :)
But yes, must be some parsing issue.
 
(actually, better that didn't go through)
 
We stopped reporting to SOCVR at rene's request.
 
nvm. Gone.
@NormalHuman All reports?
 
3:20 AM
I dunno, @hichris123 did it. I think all.
 
@NormalHuman I know, and thanks. I agree / requested that as well
 
I'm also not sure about blacklisting new accounts, since blacklisted user is a reason that's reported to the Tavern.
The troll wants the posts to be reported; otherwise there's no fun/feedback for him/her.
 
But teh metasmokes! We gotz ta have 'em!
 
Well, later after the accounts are destroyed.
But honestly, I don't see what they add to data, more like noise/aberration.
This isn't giving us insights into spam patterns, etc.
 
Sure it is, this is a naturally occurring spam attack. Unless you suspect a mole here?
 
3:24 AM
The user seems to know a good deal about how our room works and the other workings of SO. I'm not sure if it's a mole or just a normal user.
 
Not "naturally" in my point of view, this is entirely SOCVR/Smokey induced. If Smokey was offline now, s/he would not be posting.
The posts are in all caps specifically so that they will be reported.
 
IDK about that. I've seen several of his spams get closed by the community with no chat involvement.
 
I agree with Normal, he's trying to get attention. That's the reason it's in all caps.
Mine from above was not reported because of the link
 
@NormalHuman yes
 
Yeah, but not necessarily Smokey attention.
 
3:27 AM
ya know what
 
It could be someone that we've "ticked off" at some point. We closed someone's question.

5:17 AM
Which is intended, because the command may have been misspelled.
 
@NormalHuman And there was a report because of the start message bug. Got it.
 
It's not only startup. The system messages, such as API quota and blocks, don't count either. I'm still looking into it.
 
everything should count but startup.
 
Startup should count too, so we can give report-replies across it.
Happens all the time with all the pulling going on. :)
 
I see; the watcher calls add_latest_smokedetector_message, not a method sending the message.
 
5:29 AM
And the watcher isn't installed until after the startup message is sent, I believe.
 
Maybe just delay the startup message until it is.
 
that's a tomorrow question
Next year
 
It's weird how the messages are sent before joining the rooms and connecting websockets.
Looks like Drupal/SU spammers are celebrating New Year, too.
