ref: stackoverflow.com/questions/75846524/… there's a suspicious non-clickable link in there that might be worth watching

Feb 25, 2023 21:13
oh ok, yeah fine by me

@VLAZ ah yes, I just saw it was already reported by SD
Feb 20, 2023 12:28

also, given the rather singular spam pattern it might be useful to keep the account around as a reference
Feb 15, 2023 13:15
for some reason the user has posted one single non-AI non-promo answer, so I didn't outright destroy
Feb 15, 2023 13:15
yeah, I also nuked one of those posts as spam

As you can see the blogspot link blurb is seemingly identical to the SO one. It could even be a bot

@cigien yes just a sec

I just wiped away everything

I suspect the user is creating answers to SO questions with chatGPT on their blog, and then copy-pasting the blog with some words formatted as links
Feb 15, 2023 13:06
it's a user who is hiding links to their blog in chatGPT answers

@CodyGray that sounds interesting; though I'm not too fond of chat-ops. I like advanced flagging's ability to report to smoke detector while viewing the post. Makyen's message hinted at SIM being able to do that but with chat commands. Disclaimer: I haven't looked into the documentation yet
Feb 10, 2023 22:35
ah I see. Advanced Flagging -> spam
Feb 10, 2023 22:32
reporting through the API, i.e. with the Advanced Flagging userscript?
Feb 10, 2023 22:31
@HenryEcker how did you report the other three posts?
Feb 10, 2023 22:29
@Spevacus thanks for the heads up, noted. What Henry said. What I wanted to do was to report the domain. watch seems to accomplish this just fine

I've removed three low-traffic tags from the site. Due to scarce participation on meta, I just went ahead and did it. Feel free to open a thread on meta, if you disagree and/or with to restore them.

1. [family], 2 questions overall, it's already covered by [kinship]
2. [distribution], 2 questions overall, rather generic and unclear what it refers to
3. [interjections], 3 questions overall, extremely narrow syntactical topic, and anyway the existing questions were about [swearing].

Improving one's own English as side effect of helping others with Chinese...? Nice
Sep 3, 2020 18:34
while digging up old posts I came across several answers from Tang Ho, who has been consistently posting for quite some time now. I noticed that his English improved significantly over the years...!
Sep 1, 2020 19:44
thanks
Sep 1, 2020 19:44
Also, if you have ever posted a more extensive discussion in an answer or anywhere here on a stack exchange site, I would love to have those links as well
Sep 1, 2020 19:43
I can't find it anymore. Please can you repost it?
Sep 1, 2020 19:43
@dROOOze I remember a while ago you posted a link to some article, probably under one of my answers, debating the merits of using the term "component" instead of "radical".
Aug 20, 2020 07:58
nice, thanks
Aug 19, 2020 21:12
@dROOOze please can you teach me how to format the characters in the <kbd> tag as you often do, like here .https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/38698

Do you use some particular tool to remove the character background?

@user21820 thank you for your insight

in other words, it is possible to use these linguistics concepts in either EN and ZH, and they are not confined to one language or the other, regardless of how much widespread the literature making use of them may be.
Aug 20, 2020 11:14
My argument, which I admittedly didn't bring up in the other thread, is simply that verb valency exists in any language (or at least in English and Chinese), hence transitive and ditransitive verbs exist, hence the concepts of direct and indirect object exist
Aug 20, 2020 11:12
@user21820 interesting discussion, and great articles you linked along the way.

Since you seem to know what you're talking about, which is a rare quality, I would like your opinion on the following:

in another thread I was debating with others about whether certain linguistics concepts are general enough that it's possible to use them to analyze different languages, irrespective of whether said concepts are commonly used in such analyses. The keyword being "commonly used".

Specifically we were talking about whether the notions of "direct object" and "indirect object" make sense in Chines
