@Feeds Does your onebox pass the visibility test?

@DavidPostill oh this too in some cases, but that's not unique to this animal. When it's hot outside, it blows air out of its nose, at some point the nose becomes runny, and bubbles form. When the bubble explodes, the fluid cools down the whole nose area, and so this cute animal stays cool. :D

@tripleee k, still up, long way to go. (it's at -4 so maybe only two flagged.)

Looks like SU mods are asleep which is rare. :D

(over half hour, -9, still up)

TIL (from a zefrank video- of all places) that slime moulds can approximate solutions to difficult graph network problems: youtu.be/k_GTIL7AECQ?t=406

@ShadowWizardChasingStars chewing noises

flag-pls spam returning spammer, again (MS) superuser.com/a/1767904

10:35 AM

@tripleee Also space.stackexchange.com/a/61794

@tripleee 2 and 3 are still up

PM 2Ring

I flagged 2 with a custom flag, to give the Math.SE mods a heads-up. They like to track ChatGPT spammers.

11:25 AM

@tripleee umm.... no? Two already gone but two are ordinary posts, no trolling. If you have proof then custom flag.

@tripleee because they're not spam, trolling, or anything bad.

oh, this might be another case of those super trolls you discuss in secret places, but still, ordinary people outside that circle have no way to know so not going to flag.

Anyway Tavern appears to fill with smoke.... ;)

Out of sheer habit but no longer hoping it would be done... @JNat there's cross site spammer in case you're still into it. Thanks!

@ShadowWizardChasingStars well... actually, I can start with that one, since I was about to start clearing the backlog anyway — gone!

also, the backlog starts at Jan 3

I did this to myself

ahahahaha

@JourneymanGeek gone

oh, wait, some are still from December

T_T

@ShadowWizardChasingStars big backlog, lots of accounts; just suspended network-wide for 10 years

@JNat hey, you could wait and poke....

@ShadowWizardChasingStars weird posts on 3 sites, but don't see anything that requires my intervention given all 3 were deleted

@JourneymanGeek gone

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog gone

@ShadowWizardChasingStars gone

@JourneymanGeek gone

@nicael gone

@rene network suspended, since you'd already reset the profile

@JourneymanGeek gone

XD

@ShadowWizardChasingStars gone

@Spevacus already suspended network-wide

@ShadowWizardChasingStars all posts appear to be deleted, and behavior seems to have stopped. If you see it reoccurring, flag for mod attention and they can take action or escalate if needed

12:41 PM

network-wide spammer @jnat stackexchange.com/users/27750133/joshitha-n?tab=accounts

post spam on meta (nuked already), apparently on stack overflow also (hence suspension), also looks like he has a nuked account on some another stack

@nicael gone

and that concludes that endeavor

@JNat how have you checked that fast

apologies for the wall of text

imposibol

@nicael I was in a flow state xD

anyway, also nuked the account for the user who'd posted an answer to the question on MSE

12:45 PM

Meta Andrew T.

@Feeds Is onebox getting worse?

cigien

1:51 PM

@ShadowWizardChasingStars You might want to check the MS report and the user history on MS. That's spam seed.

2:20 PM

@cigien I can't red flag based on future spam.

Once question proves to be spam seed sure by all means, I'll spam flag both the question and the answer.

SPArcheon

waiting for someone to post a demo space on Hugging Faces that creates random accounts on SE with ChatGPT user profile and diffusion generated avatars.
Because we all know that it will sadly happen soon or later.

But won't do it just because there is a chance it's spam seed, it's just wrong IMO.

@ShadowWizardChasingStars oh there was some spam posted for it

so the spam seed did sprout the canned porker

@MetaAndrewT. it's overwhelmed by @JNat awesome backlog clearing. :D

cigien

@ShadowWizardChasingStars Sure. I mean now that we know it's spam seed, you should probably change the feedback to MS.

SPArcheon

2:22 PM

how can spam grow on trees I will never understand. It is not like it is a fruit.

@cigien no it's still not spam seed. It's a question without spam and without links, and without spam answer to make it spam seed.

cigien

Based on the user's history of posts, I don't see how that question is anything other than a spam seed. Do you feel it is, or could possibly be, a legit question?

@cigien no idea, I check only for spam or offensive when going to see Smokey reports, don't care for anything else.

And no, I'm still not strict enough to flag all user's posts as spam even if only some are spam. When I see spam post I flag. When it's not spam, I don't flag, I'm a simple person.

If the site has decent mods they should nuke the spammer and all their posts will be nuked as well, so it doesn't really matter anyway.

And if the site mods won't bother, well the site might deserve some spam seeds to hang around. ;)

@SPArcheon it has juice.

@JNat and the 15 pings? :D

Thanks for all the work!!!

@rene Kenny dead again in Den :(

"One Ping Only"

►

:D

lol

2:32 PM

@ShadowWizardChasingStars did you pay the rent?

@rene hmm money might have been stuck in traffic.

Here ya go!

Should be enough for 100 years.

(1 unicoin per year, no?)

And off to play some more FF14, cya!

Who wants to play Firefox 14 these days ...

@ShadowWizardChasingStars Hahahah! Of course, my Wizard powers would only be used benevolently, so perhaps just a nice warm fireplace… and a large cup of tea :)

I forgot the commands aaaaa

!!/tea

SmokeDetector

@EleezatheOtherWorldWizard brews a cup of jasmine tea for @EleezatheOtherWorldWizard

Eleeza the Other World Wizard

There we go

3:25 PM

@ShadowWizardChasingStars I can only apologize for my pings to you if you apologize for yours to me ;P

@JNat other than the slightly... annoying way the inbox behaves in the situation... :D

SPArcheon

4:52 PM

@rene just so you know, you folks out there actually got quite close to THIS being added OFFICIALLY in Firefox.

In the end only copyright issues saved you.

6:19 PM

@EleezatheOtherWorldWizard perfect, because @trip doesn't like tea so it's just a fitting punishment. :D

@JNat oh but I will not! I stand behind each and every ping I send, even to @Pandya ;-)

@JourneymanGeek keeps beeping? Blinking?

@SPArcheon oh rene is IE guy, in all his body and soul. :P

Now he's on the Edge though.

6:32 PM

@SPArcheon ROFLOL

7:35 PM

@ShadowWizardChasingStars in that case, my response pings are warranted — encouraged, even, I would say ;P
