@NVZ Each device using the Stack Exchange API gets a quota of requests it can perform each day. Unauthenticated clients get 300, and everyone else except Smokey gets 10,000. Smokey gets 20,000.

NVZ

okay, so smokey rests after 20,000?

Yvette Colomb

@NVZ yep can't poll

NVZ

6:39 PM

or does smokey have more clones?

@YvetteColomb poll?

J F

@NVZ We’ve never [citation needed] reached the limit.

NVZ

sorry, i'm not a programmer or anything. :)

J F

If it does, it can’t fetch posts from SE, which pretty much makes it useless. Fortunately, quota is per-IP, so we can switch to another instance.

Yvette Colomb

@NVZ what he said - which is also what you're saying - can a clone do it - so it can be run from another pc

J F

@NVZ Don’t worry, lots of Charcoalers aren’t either :)

NVZ

6:41 PM

ah, so smokey is all knowing, all powerful, transcendent

Yvette Colomb

@NVZ like a magic 8 ball? yes

NVZ

smokey is a god.

Yvette Colomb

there's a new church of smokey starting up :)

NVZ

i hope that day doesn't come when smokey insists on having a partner, and then takes over the world.

6:43 PM

@Mithrandir Whaddya mean, 'wut'? Humans...

Yvette Colomb

@NVZ ? why a partner?

NVZ

@YvetteColomb smokey is lonely, and actively looking for company, i can tell.

NVZ

Yvette Colomb

I have found my grammar has deteriorated with the advent of online social networking

@NVZ a dizzying array of random letters

NVZ

@YvetteColomb i'm on the awkward silence now more often, nay always.

@YvetteColomb nothing is random, if yanno how to look at it. :)

Yvette Colomb

@NVZ I have it favourited, but am not chatting much there. I'm in too many rooms

NVZ

Yvette Colomb

@SmokeDetector Anyone know why that happens?

angussidney

Urgh mobile typing

@NVZ that wouldn't help. Our biggest spammer group (and I assume the majority of the others do this too) has their human workers register an account and then either manually type out or copy-paste some text into a question and then submit it. They get paid when they show some sort of proof that they posted it (we assume a screenshot). Anyway, forcing registration wouldn't do anything because it's humans, not bots, doing the spamming already.

How do we know this? One of our members (I think Undo) went undercover a while ago and tried to sign up to be a spammer.
