Hmm... no Smokey report.
I believe I'll go test it locally :P
 
Dayum. This ain't what I signed up for.
:P
 
wonder when this was last used?
 
@JNat Hey, this is a smaller wave than the ones we usually go through ;D
cough StackBot cough
 
@ShadowWizard does that make me the new @Unihedron?
3
 
@Bart no. Now there are just two of you :D
Old Bart and New Bart.
 
Given my state this morning, that would be very old Bart and somewhat old Bart @ShadowWizard
 
Old is only relative.
 
@Bart state? like Closed?
 
Did you wake up on the wrong side of the border?
 
12:04 PM
@PeterJ borked the train :/
 
8-8-8-7-7-5-5
 
@Unihedron call this number to win $$$
 
@Shadow, heh thought it was about time to wreck a comment train too...
 
12:06 PM
three flags remaining
 
@SmokeDetector ignore
 
@PeterJ train wrecker! :D
 
@Bart Even the Bart of Avon was known to make trips to London, but that does not make him the Bart of London. So just because the Bart of Geneva should awaken in Lyon or München does not him of non-Genevan Bart make. He is merely in a different state for the nonce. :)
 
@Mooseman looks like smokey is ignoring you ;)
 
@SmokeDetector IGNORE DARN IT

12:07 PM
@Mooseman Post ignored; alerts about it will no longer be posted.
 
@ShadowWizard That would be 867-5309
 
@JNat gogogo
 
12:08 PM
Do we have to forbid Hangul other places, too? This is redickulous.
 
T_T
 
2 flags
 
:/
Sorry :(
 
I've been trying to reply to a ticket for more than half an hour now :P
@Unihedron No problem, it's not your fault
 
But some of us should have already run out of flags, so we need you!!
 
12:09 PM
Keep naggin' me, not a problem
 
Oh, they're on anime now!

... and on RPG
 
12:10 PM
... it's going network wide, trigger the other alarm!
 
@JNat tickets again? The true meaning of being a CM is fighting spam! :D
 
one flag
rpg gone
 
RIP rpg.se
 
If anybody could please point an RPG@ɹɐʍɯɐq, I’m sure they’d collect the serious bounty on his head.
 
12:11 PM
@JNat I propose that Writers (at least) be given the ELU ɹɐʍɯɐq fix of forbidding Hangul.
 
@tchrist Do you know if Matt's regex lib for Python supports \p{Script=Hangul}? I cannot get it working.
 
And now I'm out of flags, too :-( — Jan Dvorak 10 secs ago
 
@ProgramFOX It’s supposed to.
You may have to compile the pattern with a Unicode flag.
 
Hmm...
 
@ShadowWizard Well, I'm not a CM :P
 
12:12 PM
I haven't looked at it lately.
 
@tchrist We do.
 
Hm.
 
Let me check.
 
@JNat huh?? go looking
 
12:13 PM
At least I'll add abam26 to the spam regex
 
> employee for Stack Exchange
 
Try the short form?
 
oh, wait, I do have one more flag to spend

I just assumed default role of SE employee is CM, @JNat ;)
 
12:14 PM
@ShadowWizard JNat is a Community Growth Operations Specialist, not a Community Moderator.
 
@tchrist \p{Hangul}? Tried that too, same results.
 
@Unihedron and the difference is.... ?
;)
 
@ShadowWizard What @Uni said
 
@ShadowWizard there is literally a difference
 
!!/rev?
 
@ProgramFOX There’s also a \p{IsHangul} but usually my first guess is to suspect you have some sort of encoding conniption. But I get the idea you know what you’re doing, so it is a mystery. Have you tried small test cases by hand?
 
how hasn't spamram kicked in yet?
 
@tchrist Ah, I found it. I added the regex to the array that would have word boundaries, but that doesn't work here.
 
Bucking the trend.
 
12:16 PM
spamram?
 
So I'll fix the regex now.
 
@Unihedron It's a new spammer/site combo ;-/
 
@Unihedron a ton of different IPs
 
ok thanks for info
 
12:17 PM
Who still has some flags?
 
@Unihedron you mean this guy?
@SpamRam
0 tweets, 5 followers, following 6 users
:D
 
@ProgramFOX That’s right: East Asian languages written without spaces need the far fancier sort of word boundary than afforded by a mere \w to \W (or vice versa) transition.
 
@JanDvorak I do
 
I am out of ammunition, @JanDvorak.
 
I think? can I flag as a newly registered user there?

@JanDvorak me got 4
 
@DarkAshelin please do
 
@JanDvorak just the korean ones?
 
@DarkAshelin only if you get association bonus
 
@Dark, yes you would be able to with the 100 association bonus (flagging only needs 15)
 
12:18 PM
@DarkAshelin Yeah but you start with 10, which is tiny
 
We might be past the peak of this wave, so 10 should suffice
 
Are they done?
 
!!/rev?
 
Seems so.
 
12:21 PM
Alright, if anything new comes in then it will get reported by Smokey.

@JNat Is it a myth that the SE software tosses each post deleted as spam into a big machine-learning engine to help train early identification as possible spam? I ask because I should think any non-buggy trainer would be red-lining ɹɐʍɯɐq’s stuff by now, but maybe the feature-vectors need work.
 
looks like they moved to rpg now
 
Sam
7 flags left...
 
Feb 5 at 10:50, by Unihedro
detaining users, voted by meta stack exchange spam watchers
 
haha nice haircut, @Dar :D
 
@ShadowWizard lol, which one are you talking about?
 
Why not just give diamonds to all of us?
 
Never noticed that before, looks like if you get 10 helpful flags you get the extra one straight away instead of needing to wait until the next day
 
12:23 PM
@DarkAshelin all sites except MSE
 
@ShadowWizard so the mohawk
 
(that's why I didn't notice before :))
 
@ShadowWizard @No. plz move message to -> chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/860/meme-zone
 
@PeterJ Yeah, it's some formula of amount of helpful flags and rep that decides on the amount of flags per day, so after 10 flags you get an 11th as bonus.
 
@ShadowWizard ty x)
 
12:23 PM
Is there a method to ɹɐʍɯɐq’s site selection history?
 
@Unihedron really? so we can't post images here anymore?
 
@ProgramFOX helpful flags - declined flags / 10
 
@Unihedron Is that (H-D)/10 running contrary to algebra and any sane programming language, or is it H-(D/10) like a programmer would expect?
 
@tchrist first
 
Thanks.
 
12:25 PM
also, rep / 2k floored
so every 2k rep gives you another flag

Ok, time for RPN.
 
Ugh it's on RPG now
 
@tchrist I don't know specifics about this. You should ask @TimPost about it
 
@JNat help!
 
12:26 PM
How does it always disappear before I can flag it?
 
@JNat Thanks. I’d be glad to. I haven’t done ML for about 5 years, but would be interested in what the state of the art is these days.
 
Gosh, I’d forgotten what it was like to have only ten flags instead of a hundred.
 
@ShadowWizard ROFL
 
12:29 PM
looks like there are thousands of victims... google.co.uk/#q=bamwar+spam
 
Sam
Gone.
 
Meta, Writers, RPG, and one post on Electrical Engineering. They were only seen there, right?
 
On ELU too.
 
fun fact: last bamwar spam wave was 30 days ago
 
12:33 PM
wonder if it's all 100% automated process?
 
@ShadowWizard That's not fun at all
 
@JNat the fact is fun ;)
 
Only the fact, then :P
 
I wonder... the regex is now working fine, but Smokey still doesn't pick up those titles.
 
some korean guy press a big red button and... innocent site get spammed
 
12:34 PM
so, debugging time
 
@ProgramFOX What’s the regex that is missing the titles?
 
@tchrist \p{Script=Hangul}
but when testing from a console, it works fine
 
Sam
Gone.
 
and the abam26 regex too
!!/alive?
 
@ProgramFOX Kinda sorta
 
12:37 PM
stillborn
 
@ProgramFOX Must be encoding. You do decode bytes into characters properly, no?
 
@tchrist I believe so, but I'll debug that now to be sure.
 
Sam
Darn, I'm out of flags.
 
12:39 PM
et tu?
 
@DarkAshelin too late, already posted
 
send your Bacteria on him, @Dar :P
 
12:40 PM
was faster than the bot :D
 
Guys, this is mechanical turk action. Somehow SE needs to get ahead of the curve.
 
@DarkAshelin not really, different site
 
@ShadowWizard isn't that the removed one from Pham right after I posted?
 
@DarkAshelin oh, might be right!
 
still 7 flags remaining
 
Sam
12:42 PM
@Pham gone
 
btw are u guys downvoting all of those? isn't that a waste of rep
 
Sam
@DarkAshelin Flagging as spam/off will auto-dv the post.
 
And we can't downvote manually anyway, not enough rep :)
 
12:43 PM
never knew
haha
 
also, downvoting questions is free
 
also, downvoting question is free. @Dar :)
wow
 
get a room u 2

great minds....
 
also, answer downvote penalty gets refunded if the answer is deleted
 
12:43 PM
...dupe each content
 
@Pham make it 100%
 
Sam
@Pham gone
@ShadowWizard Currently the calc algo is under (re-)construction.
 
@Sam oh, no big deal I guess :)
 
so what exactly is happening to the posts now after we flag them? auto-delete (by who)? or is a mod taking care of all?
 
@DarkAshelin I am
 
12:45 PM
six flags by anyone auto-deletes them
 
Sam
@ShadowWizard Yeah, all posts are manually checked before being posted in here anyways.
 
pew pew
3
 
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!
 
Sam
Well, most of them.
 
12:45 PM
he's here
 
@TimPost Welcome aboard!
 
so should I keep flaggnig or doesn't matter?
 
@DarkAshelin just keep flagging
 
@TimPost Can you take it from here? I need to break for lunch.
 
12:46 PM
lol
 
spam sandwiches for lunch?
 
I don't get it. Debugging tells me that there should be a message, but there isn't any.
 
@ProgramFOX missed websocket? Flash?
 
saving my flags to a time when spam hunters won't be around ;)
 
@JanDvorak It got the web socket and I even saw the debugger reach the send_message line, and it did not throw an error but it still didn't post.
 
Sam
@JanDvorak But Yam is also using the same websocket (iirc).
 
@Sam I approve

@tchrist Not sure what you mean by titular problem.
 
Who still has flags on Writers?

No.

@ProgramFOX Sorry, thought you native speaker. The problem of Smokey missing Hang spam in titles.
 
No.
@Unihedron done
 
(removed)
 
@No. \o/ tyz ^^
 
Ohhhhh... I found the reason! len(chat_message) is larger than 500 chars so it cannot post it...
 
...
 
12:56 PM
Due to the long percent-encoding URL, of course.
Screw you, spammers, that you found such a way to break Smokey.
2
 
@ProgramFOX Oh, URI encoding.
There’s decoding and then there’s decoding. :)
 
@ProgramFOX or, you know, use shortlinks
{domain}/q/{id}
 
@Unihedron Yeah, that's what I'm going to do now.
 
Sam
@Unihedron That's what Yam does. xD
 
I wonder what today’s tally of hangspam is?
