@Mast Oh, I meant that to be a reply to Smokey lol

@Mast It looks unlikely that it's a seed. The user is simply copying the link from one of the comments on the original question. The book is free with no ads, and the GitHub organization that published it doesn't include anyone with a similar name as the SO poster. The question should probably just be closed.

@SmokeDetector fp-

I haven't been able to access MS all day

Lol I'll bet that flash is hiding a missing semicolon or something

@JohnDvorak Closest I could find was this

@JohnDvorak I think I did see a Reddit post where they had a dual-monitor setup with one green and one amber

@JohnDvorak I preferred the amber phosphor ones, myself

How to show code to make me look like a hacker

@RyanM Scroll through their code? Ew

Yeah I was about to say. What a roundabout way to show code

T_T

@Das_Geek Note that this was filtered to results within the last week, as SEDE only gets updated weekly

@Daniil This one. It essentially grabs all Triage reviews on questions that were later closed (not dupe-closed), and looks for "Looks OK" or "Requires Editing" responses.

I'd have to double-check, but Sam was up to multi-year suspensions iirc

Yeah, that's the part I appreciated the most

@Makyen Ah, right. Yeah that bit of UX really helped, I'm sure :D

@Daniil I'm not so sure. I ran a SEDE query I had written when Sam started that initiative, which had previously returned hundreds of results. When I ran it today, it only returned 50 or so, with maybe 25 being worth reporting

@Spevacus Only the brief mention that Shog put in his grading post. I'm still catching up

Oh yeah how did that review suspension wave go? I looked in the channel and the numbers seemed to go down. People learning, or are they just banned for that long? :P

Honestly, other than a few sites, it wasn't too bad. Sometimes the mods would be faster than this room. It must be the glasses...

True haha. It was like when Leonardo DiCaprio finally got that Oscar: highly-active Charcoal folks finally got diamonds. The only downside now is that there isn't a running joke anymore XD

I need like a changelog of all the things that have happened since I've been gone :P

@Machavity That's what I figured. Didn't see any other activity by them on MS, so I fell back to the "three strikes" guideline

@SmokeDetector User links to YouTube video they're affiliated with. Commented on their post regarding disclosure rules

@JeffSchaller That was my first reaction, but I wasn't sure enough to put a "fp" on it

@SmokeDetector Not sure on this one. The question does ask for information about chess services, and disclosure is provided. Probably best to edit out the contact information and watch for future activity before spam-flagging

Oh right, I remember now. Autoflags can be set based on reason weight and number of reasons caught. So this was a technique to increase the number of reasons caught, otherwise it might have been only 2 reasons (and 3 might be the minimum for autoflag I think?)

If I remember my Smokey logic correctly, you'll often see "bad" words also be brought up in the "potentially bad" section. Something about increasing the reason weight for autoflags

@Mast No, the index started before that

@Mast It was also marked as "offensive", if you're thinking about the word I'm thinking about

@Mast Thanks! It's been a while; I've forgotten a few things

@Undo Oops, it took me 10 minutes to realize that I meant to type "KB" for Keybase, not "TL" for, uh, whatever it is that mod room is called.

@Daniil Sure. As I said, keep it public as you will: that part's up to you. All I'm saying is that I would really appreciate it if accusational or otherwise contentious topics be kept out of here, unless they specifically relate to keeping spam posts at bay

Keep it public as you will, but do it in a channel with a more appropriate topic

Hm, I'd rather this room be focused on clearing spam, than be filled with accusations against individual users

@Daniil I'm not sure where you're getting this idea that a cute, fluffy dog is manipulating things with evil intent, but I see no such evidence. To me at least, this conversation history does not look like a "record of manipulation", but rather a series of nitpicks

My apologies, I didn't mean to overstep. I am not really active in either so I shouldn't have made that recommendation

Sure, then Teams

@Daniil Major? A non-existent tag name was replaced with another non-existent tag name. Neither the old nor the new tags linked to anything useful. The tags change did nothing. Rather than continuing to be contentious here, you should move the conversation to Teams or TL, where at least the conversation won't be publicly visible

Nice, I like the change a lot. Then there's a clear distinction between questions about the API, which are on topic, and those about the site itself, which is off-topic

@Machavity Yeah, I suppose a case could be made that it's "about" the site. I guess it just struck me as odd to have a url as a tag

Agreed. I would hate to mass-rollback the tag changes, as well.

Oof, they're adding links to the site in the questions they're editing

There's no hard evidence, but the activity smells of affiliation, especially because they also added a tag wiki and excerpt to it

@Machavity What should I do about the tag edits? One user is going through all the questions that mention a particular site and adding the site's URL to the question as a tag (see: stackoverflow.com/q/52502255/11384392). It's clearly not a proper tag to use, and there's a lot that was changed

Ew, someone edited the question to add a tag for the website the question is asking about
