allow me to be clear: if your usage harms us in any way even a little bit: we will go out of our way to block you - but in a friendly way. With sprinkles and rainbows ;p

But ~~we're~~ Manish is making a spam detector gizmo!

Manishearth

@MarcGravell :o OK. TimPost already knows about this -- currently the only thing I run is a little spam detector thing that posts to chat. Chatbots/etc are being made by others, all I want is an easy-to-use wrapper :)

Marc Gravell

yeah; I appreciate that - I just want to make clear that I am not saying "yes, we tech-support and encourage this usage"

but try setting Origin and see what works

@MarcGravell Of course. And we don't expect you to keep the websocket system the same either :)

this user seems to add a huge lot of pointless tags

Undo

It's hard not to do after 1.5k

@Undo @ who is that?

@joeytje50 @you

okay

The system doesn't warn you when you create a new tag. I've made several new misspelled tags myself -_-

well

look at this user's suggestions though

Undo

ok

joeytje50

he does actually spam the new tags on every question he finds related

so this is not accidental at all

Undo

oh, ok

yeah, you're right.

Raise it on Meta.

joeytje50

okay

was already halfway a draft

wait, a :P smiley gives me ":P - You can perform this action again in 1 seconds - retry / cancel"

I'm tempted to now reply to that with a :o smiley

Uhmm... so I'm poking around the door to TL and all the sudden 5/6 of my chat.se rep disappears. Coincidence? :P

@Manishearth What ideas do you have?

Marc Gravell

@Undo chat.se rep is based on site rep; this is updated roughly hourly when you are using the site

@MarcGravell He didn't lose 5/6 of his rep though.

Because of that, I decided to check what was the deal with this tag, and from what it seems, it's a tag that doesn't really seem to be necessary at all. I then s...

Marc Gravell

I did a forced refresh; back to 30k

my guess: api blipped

let me know if it does it again

Bart

@joeytje50 It's better not to call out single users like that. The Meta effect might end up harming them. Better keep it general, focused on tags and what to do about users who create "many".

^ That

@Bart okay, should I reword my question for that then?

Undo

@MarcGravell ok, thanks!

Bart

Yeah, this should not be a "let's all kick VividD"
