Privileged SmokeDetector users: you can now manually add blacklisted users using the !!/addblu command. Syntax: !!/addblu userid sitename where sitename is the full site name. (such as stackoverflow.com and communitybuilding.stackexchange.com, but not just stackoverflow)

Yeah,

Andy

@ProgramFOX thumbs up for communitybuilding

ProgramFOX

:D

rene

9:11 PM

Does it accept wildcards? or ranges?

ProgramFOX

no, because the user id differs on every site

rene

you don't have the accountid on the messages?

ProgramFOX

?

rene

In SEDE the users table has an id and an accountid. The accountid is stable across all sites...

ProgramFOX

oh?

rene

9:14 PM

@ProgramFOX see my answer here: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/247652/…

ProgramFOX

That one is not passed -- it's the user ID that should be passed. The user ID is the ID that can be seen in the account URL.

Aside from going to check someone's network profile, there's no way to view someone's network ID. And doing that would generate too many requests.

rene

OK, to bad...

user259867

It's available from the API: /users method, which accepts 100 user Ids at once.

ProgramFOX

That's cool. But it would still be many requests.

ProgramFOX

^ We already used 9000 API requests. If we would also check for users, we would use too many requests.

user259867

Fine... In practice, it rarely matters: spammers rarely propagate across sites.

ProgramFOX

that's true

user259867

@ProgramFOX Okay, another suggestion... accepting user profile url as parameter would likely make the command easier to use. The url can be reliably parsed into both userid and hostname: split by /, then, say http://math.stackexchange.com/users/147263/famous-blue-raincoat becomes [http, ``, hostname, users, userid, ...]

ProgramFOX

@FamousBlueRaincoat Good idea; we already have a method to parse user ID and site name from a URL, so that should not be too hard.

I'll make SmokeDetector accept both ways to add a user.
