S.L. Barth

I'm somehow surprised that these guys aren't automatically blocked yet.

....even more that they keep trying, they've been here for so long, and none of their spams lasted more than 3 minutes.

user163250

Might just be testing out their spamming tools.

user163250

Using SE as a test target, then move on to sites with weaker spam protection.

S.L. Barth

I see a new extension to SE, after SE Documentation and SE Teams.... SE Spam Fighting.

user163250

12:27 PM

Well, that's basically us in this room.

user163250

S.L. Barth

Brigadier-General Smokey! Reporting for duty! :-D

But seriously, I think Smokey could be used in a wider context than SE.

user163250

@S.L.Barth what do you mean?

S.L. Barth

I think Smoke Detector could, with some adaptations, also be used to detect spam on non-SE sites.

user202362

Is there any stats on how accurate our little smokedetector is?

S.L. Barth

12:35 PM

I think there's data about Smokey's efficiency in Metasmoke.

user163250

@chmod711telkitty yes.

user163250

Gimme a sec.

user163250

@chmod711telkitty here metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com

user163250

@S.L.Barth so you're basically suggesting setting up another chat room for SD to detect spam on other people's blogs and forums?

user163250

I could picture someone modifying SD to work with their own chat system, sure.

user163250

12:36 PM

Real-time spam detection.

user163250

I can't really see it being worth it for sites with low traffic though.

S.L. Barth

Basically people using modified Smokeys on people's own chat systems, yes.

user163250

I mean, in those cases, the volume of spam is so low, you might as well just handle it from email like usual.

S.L. Barth

I don't think one should use an SE chatroom for the spam on other sites.

user163250

@S.L.Barth that's not what I was suggesting.

user163250

12:40 PM

Any chat system could work in theory, as long as it exposed an API.

user163250

Meh, doesn't bug me.

S.L. Barth

There's probably a userscript to modify it client-side.

user202362

there is? that would be great, I would like to add a shade of yellow or pink in it

Bart

1:08 PM

Hmm, there was one some time ago. A black scheme ...

user163250

Sounds awful.

Bart

Perhaps, but you could modify it to your liking

rofl the sample image rlemon used was the lounge

Bart

1:18 PM

Fork the project, make it pink, put up new screenshot.

user202362

It might be a silly question, but would running the script slows down or stuff up the chat?

user202362

lounge is the most popular chat by the amount of messages

user202362

Most people there don't really use C++ for their day to day work

@MiceElf That came to my mind too a few days ago, but I rejected that idea myself because I remember a case where an NSFW image came up in a question containing "porn", and such images are disallowed by the ToS IIRC, so I'm not sure we have to drop the keyword.

@MiceElf True... perhaps a rep limit, like there is for "shit"? Below 50 rep, is a report.

That would help. And maybe exclude Movies site? It's totally on topic there.
