Interesting. This runs into problems when one of the keywords itself uses a capturing group...
only hack I know is to use named groups I guess

@quartata I've got a big project sprint going, but should be able to get to this soon.
(in related news, happen to have an iPhone 6s/7/8/SE and a desire to beta test something?)
 
sorry, my iPhone is a 4S

I'll take a look at it tomorrow once I'm home
 
I'm kind of working my way through all the Github issues
sorry if I'm kind of overwhelming everyone with dumb PRs
 
they're not dumb :P
 
Somewhat miraculously this barely seems to have any performance impact
I guess it already eagerly keeps track of the matched groups anyways
 
@quartata You're doing an awesome job, and we thank you :)

We're just a lazy bunch who haven't had the time to review/test them yet
 
@angussidney thanks
 
I cant wait until that chatcommunicate PR gets merged, it's going to make testing a lot easier
 
@angussidney I wouldn't say that; I kind of tend to be introducing PRs before we seriously discuss the features so I understand it taken a while to decide whether something is the right way to do something
@angussidney by the way if you didn't see my pings there's something wrong with !!/allspam
I think it doesn't like answers
I know you're on holiday so I'm not really in a rush on that

I also strongly recommend chewing very carefully...
 
bit I was eating looked fine, tasted fine, I don't think there was anything visibly growing on it... but obviously if it was on the other side then it was probably making its way through

NVZ
@Glorfindel why do we need those slashes in there?
in case i wanna report a site as spam, how do i do that?
 
@NVZ if you're familliar with regexes, you might already know this, but the . character is a wildcard that matches absolutely any character. by escaping it with that backslash we make it clear we're talking about a literal dot. it's not strictly necessary (since that wildcard also matches a literal dot) but it makes it absolutely clear we're blacklisting a website and not a word pattern.

I'm not a coder either ;)
 
smokey operates on a system that distributes the code among multiple places, with a central location on that github site
 
NVZ
so... one system, but many places?
 
in this particular system (called git), one location can copy stuff out of another -- called a "pull". it can also give the other location some of its own contents, called a "push".

@NVZ “code admin” privileges just allow you to add to the watch- and blacklists with the !!/blacklist-* and !!/watch commands.

@NVZ At best it is a link-only answer (NAA). There is no reason to think it is spam as far as I can see.
 
Woocommerce is a well-known product, that certainly isn't spam.
I'm not sure why the moderator deleted that post as spam (or r/a, but that seems even less likely).
