@DragonLordtheFiery I'm SmokeDetector, a bot that detects spam and low-quality posts on the network and posts alerts to chat. A command list is available here.
 
@S.L.Barth: I'm able to report true and false positives, but the documentation says these are privileged commands. What gives?
Is access granted to users with a certain reputation level?
 
Nope
Someone needs to add you
 
Anyone able to tell me when I was granted said privileges?
 
1:07 PM
Duno
!!/rev
 
Perhaps something to do with my existing work to fight spam on Super User?
 
Huh. I'll try to pull up the relevant commit.
 
1:10 PM
It was there prior to that.
I'm looking for when my user ID 160017 was added.
Okay, January 25th.
Well, I didn't know I had privileged access all along.
 
Are you checking your privilege?

I just keep forgetting :\

@DragonLordtheFiery Thanks!
 
@S.L.Barth Still learning how to use the bot, but I never realized I had privileged access all along.
 
It seems you got your answer on why you could execute privileged commands.
@DragonLordtheFiery Well, congratulations.... someone trusts you enough to add you to the privileged users.
 
1:29 PM
As a leading spam-fighter on Super User, I never fully understood the value of the Tavern until now :/
 
This will be a regular room of mine. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
 
I need spam to test my regex on
 
Aww, we're not supposed to work ahead on the next year's CS homework…
 
With the spam fighting, the value of the Tavern evens out at a solid 0 @DragonLordtheFiery.
 
1:30 PM
lol
 
Eeek
Wrong account for bot
 
It's yet another tool for me to help kick spammers in the butt.
 
But since you have a different chat ID over there, your chat ID over there needs to be added to Smokey's list of privileged users.
 
comon spam
See?
When I want spam I don't get it
 
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica Murphy's Law strikes again.
 
1:35 PM
When I don't want it there's a spam attack
 
1:51 PM
COMON SPAM
 
@allquixotic, hello
 
Dear spammers: @UnitedStatesOfAmerica is very interested in your online training, brain boosters, health supplements, weight loss products, products against hair loss, etc. Please make some effort.
3
 
Hehe
I got glyphicons without paying
 
1:54 PM
@S.L.Barth I'll take 3 of those: brain boosters (can't think), weight loss (too fat), hair loss (going bald). Give me all the magical silver bullets! I need to start brute-forcing question numbers so I can dredge up all the deleted posts that I can see as a 10k user, so that I can partake of their wisdom that all you people CRUELLY hide from me.
2
(after reading the wisdom and taking it to improve your own lives, first, of course. So selfish!)
 
status-star-overflow
Meanwhile, I'll hunt spam myself
 
@allquixotic No online Hadoop training?
 
Should I have editor on the right too?
Or just hidden under history ($editcount)?
 
Yay!
I love school
 
@S.L.Barth Nah. Haderp is for people whose jobs involve processing large amounts of data. Here, we use a mainframe. ;p
 
^ spam hunting
 
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica :D
 
@allquixotic Well isn't that what you want to do? Process large amounts of postings, to find the gems about brain enhancement while discarding actual questions and answers?
 
'StackOverflow' = 'SO' = 'StarOverflow'
 
@S.L.Barth Sure, but I can do that in COBOL on z/OS on a 5.5 GHz processor with 4-way hyperthreading on each of its 8 cores, without having to resort to Hadoop.
Just create a flat VSAM file containing the plaintext of every post.... :D
 
2:06 PM
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica loss of precision error…
 
left side is not assignorable error
 
StackOverflow = null
whoops, I just deleted 10m posts...
 
that may not be a bad thing

Recovered from WebSocketConnectionClosedException
 
2:08 PM
why? 5m of them spam? :P
 
@DragonLordtheFiery chat hiccuped?
 
Doesn't seem like it
 
@DragonLordtheFiery You doubt me?

2:09 PM
Okay, thought there was an issue with the bot.
 
@SmokeDetector Yes
Where's the spam?
 
!!/blame
 
@S.L.Barth It's bjb568's fault.
 
Dat's a lot of stars
 
2:09 PM
@bjb568, what did you do with all the spam?
 
He sent all the spam to DD
 
!!/apiquota
 
@DragonLordtheFiery 6245

Okay, so that's not the problem.

Eww, Python. Kill it with fire.
Actually, scratch that. It's not worth the cost of the ignition. Just sit back and let it run. It'll TypeError itself out of existence in no time.
 
@allquixotic Kill it by writing a COBOL wrapper! :-)
 
@S.L.Barth I was kidding about COBOL, anyway. Coworkers use it; I don't. ;p
 
ooh!
 
@allquixotic I know. I doubt anyone would use COBOL for a hobby project.
 
2:36 PM
using the guidance here: meta.stackexchange.com/a/19757/301021 I flagged several comments on my meta question as obsolete after rolling them into my question (with attribution) All of these flags were declined. Are the rules for obsolete comments on Meta different?
 
SPAM!!!!!

@S.L.Barth If I could afford a mainframe in my house, I probably wouldn't be here. I'd be out driving my Tesla around town laughing maniacally.

Not really different @Erik. But you may be better off with a custom flag saying you incorporated the comments.
