Phone number detection needs to be more robust.

Andy

Feel free to come up with the algorithm that can match the various phone number formats Smokey sees (don't forget to account for the different, valid, formats for international numbers too)

user315433

5:28 PM

The current algorithm is to remove a bunch of non-word characters before checking.

user315433

But not commas, because, say, on Math one would have 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc quite often.

user315433

Another option is to disable check on Math, or make it more strict specifically for Math. I'll look into that.

bwDraco

These spammers are pulling all sorts of tricks to throw spam detection algorithms off.

Gotta go, I've got work to do.

@bluefeet didn't see it since I'm not visiting MSO a lot, but just curious now, what you expect people to do when seeing "Please welcome..."? The obvious thing to do is post something, may it be a comment or answer. :)

Out of curiosity I searched MSE and first result is meta.stackexchange.com/questions/187555/… - looks like the MSE folks are way more educated, or just way less amount of users in there, lol

bluefeet

@ShadowWizard previous ones like the MSE post didn't get anywhere near as many junk answers. I could care less about comments, but the answers were getting flags. I was gone over the weekend so the mods stepped in a locked it to prevent the noise

user315433

@ShadowWizard I think it's meant just as a thing people say, like "How are you?" used as a greeting rather than a question. But many of non-native speakers might take that literally.

user315433

@bluefeet I see. Interesting then, why this one got so many of those answers?

@404 lol, totally missed it!

bluefeet

@ShadowWizard 24 answers on the post and only 7 are visible

so, yes there was a lot of noise

@bluefeet true, and looks like most are indeed not native English speakers, who indeed too the "Please welcome..." literally. (or <50 rep users who could not comment)
