I am skeptical re: CM's reaction to this, esp. after the rough week they had. They might see it as a form of sockpuppetry, one user assuming the identity of another (with their consent, etc). But that would be a concern with any form of proposal.
@Doorknob As I see it, this would essentially be a way to send signal to SE that "Smokey things this is bad, and we're confident enough in that to knock the number of 'organic' spam flags required down by one or two"
@Normal Possibly, but if we do our homework we have a better shot
@Normal That gets too close to puppetry IMO. Having a machine behind this, operating on a very specific set of artificial restraints, is safer than having a person triggering it.
Basically, I'd like to keep people as far away from this as possible. Less chance for abuse.
@Undo like post score and user rep? I'm thinking specifically of that one incident where someone from a SO chatroom kept blacklisting a user who was only borderline spamming, definitely not the "baba" etc. stuff that's absolutely 100% spam
that user happened to have 1 rep and obviously nobody upvoted the low quality answers, but I wouldn't flag the answers as spam if it's not the "obvious" kind
@hichris123 Regarding how fast we can change regexes and adapt.
Smokey's advantage is that we can change things within minutes without really breaking anything. As soon as it becomes a system thing, there's something at stake and the rapid iteration becomes much harder.
@Undo We should probably also review some of the feedback on metasmoke - I noticed some of the fps aren't really fps (must've been a mistake) and some of the more borderline posts were tp-ed.
3.) Perhaps only issue the autoflags after a short delay, allowing users to flag first and the autoflags can clean up the few stragglers that aren't removed after a show delay
Offensive is much more unreliable, though. Someone posts on SU or AU in the state of extreme frustration, and has a swear word in it, and gets justifiably downvoted (for this or other reasons)... still not enough evidence for a flag.
@Normal There are some words, that should clearly point to being flagged as offensive, but we could set up filters to only autoflag on certain words or patterns of words.
Ok, if this is what we are sending to SE, I think the introduction needs more details on what both Smokey and metasmoke are and do. We know what they do, but we want the person receiving it to be clear on what they do too
I'll put some more work into it later. Right now, it's time to make something to eat. I'm to much of a wuss to go outside when it's -5F with windchill out, so I have to get creative.
Overall, it looks better than many RFCs I'm handed at work. If I got this in the office, I'd buy you lunch for actually doing your homework
So, I wanted to create a hosting company of a game or anything,
I will buy for example VPS' from ovh.com , so How can I setup them and make it more dynamical?
I mean like how to connect the VPS by my Website or I just need advises / tutorials.
{ Also would like examples of the best panels }

What kind of server is that, feeding and then resting the rest of the day.
