I've been living a lie... there's no last Mohican D:

I think Mathematics should be exempt from the phone number filter, given its inability to tell phone numbers from other kinds of numbers. Besides, with the level of activity that Math has we don't have to worry about spam lying around for long. @hichris123

@SmokeDetector fp-

hichris123

@HomegrownTomato Yeah. I agree.

user259867

Speaking of spam lying around for long:

@HomegrownTomato 5 hours? not that long for Ask Patents

user259867

Yes, but longer than it would live anywhere else.

user259867

I'm pretty sure that if every post on Patents with >1 link was reported here, we wouldn't have too many fps among them.

user259867

Unfortunately, I don't think Smokey has a built-in capability to filter posts only from a specific site. It goes by exclusion.

hichris123

@HomegrownTomato No, it does.

Hmm... well, there's quite a few questions with URLs...

user259867

@hichris123 But how many with more than one?

user259867

I think there was a way to use SEDE to search for posts with two occurrences of some string...

hichris123

@HomegrownTomato Hmm... not sure.

user259867

Eh, I'll just download the last 50000 posts and search the results

hichris123

...

So much simpler. :P

user259867

Turns out, I can't do that. Because they only have ~5000 posts. :)

user259867

Hmm, 1827 posts with 2+ links

user259867

No, 1151 (counting multiple "href" rather than http)

user259867

Still too many

hichris123

9:56 PM

Hmmm....

user259867

But most of those are answers

user259867

I should go back and check only questions

user259867

365 questions with >1 link

hichris123

Still quite a few.

user259867

Yeah, well-researched questions tend to have a lot of links, though most of those are old.

user259867

10:04 PM

But why didn't Smokey pick up on repeated words?

user259867

"endomondo" appears 5 times

user259867

@hichris123 How about questions with a link and without the word "patent"?

@HomegrownTomato If you can figure out a regex for that...

Q: Regular expression to match text that *doesn't* contain a word?

I know it's possible to match for a word and then reverse the matches using other tools (e.g. grep -v). However, I'd like to know if it's possible to match lines that don't contain a specific word (e.g. hede) using a regular expression? Input: hoho hihi haha hede # grep "Regex for do not con...
