!!/blacklist Marlin\ Woods

@bwDraco You don't have code privileges, but I've created a pull request for you.

...that didn't work as expected.

?

What did you expect?

When bots start to write themselves, I start to worry.

I'd like to blacklist a username string due to ongoing trolling; see chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/114/ask-a-super-user-moderator

A warning has been given

!!/make yourself better

@JanDvorak what? I'm confused here.

A warning has been given to the SD authors that self-modifying code is not a great idea

!!/addblu superuser.com/users/660989/marlin-woods

@ShadowWizard User blacklisted (660989 on superuser.com).

@bwDraco ^

@ShadowWizard that only blacklists one account, not the username

That's one account. The user's socking.

"main" blacklist is for sites afaik, not users

No?

Then we need a side one

Indeed

@ShadowWizard There is a source file that contains a website blacklist

And there is a user blacklist

And then there is a username blacklist

@Magisch oh, there is? So how one can add names to it?

without a user-friendly chat command, I guess?

@ShadowWizard You can create a Pull request modifying that part of SD's code

there isn't a command for it, its hardcoded

oh, like privileged users?

Everyone can create a pull request on github

only Charcoal Team members can actually put it into effect

@ShadowWizard This is where the blacklisted usernames are handled

As you can see, its quite a limited list, so thats only for the very blatant and recurring spammers

@Magisch yup. On second thought, Marlin Woods might be a legit user one day, maybe not a good idea to globally blacklist it.

I would expect user whitelist beats username blacklist. That's the purpose of it.

It does

But user blacklist isn't used often due to how wide a net it casts

It's getting very late here so I can't really help at this point. I think we may need a closer look at this issue. I pulled up one more account with the same name through SEDE: data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/573344

does anyone have samples of this guy's trolling antics

Maybe we can identify something else about his posts

It's content copied from other sites. One would need to search for strings through Google to confirm that they are copied.

Identifying the behavior is going to require human intervention.

Pure plagiarism?

Yup.

SmokeDetector doesn't catch Plagiarism either way, and it's not supposed to.

Sadly, they're all unregistered accounts so I don't see any of those names on /users.

I need to get to bed.

You could grab another bot sitting by the websocket. Perhaps a SD clone.

@bwDraco already?! It's 9:45 AM :D

@ShadowWizard morning

@Derpy good

WAG attempt failed :(

@ShadowWizard here in the Tavern?

Was thinking... Is there any way to get a total of the votes/downvotes cast on a single site in a day? No user data, no need to know what post were voted, just the totals.

@Derpy why not? ;)

@Derpy probably only API

@Patrick made a site that let us query the API using SQL, you can ask to join its testing here, @Derpy

@ShadowWizard actually, I could use the data dumps too. I don't need real time.

@Derpy oh, good!

I was just curious to see if the data suggest that on low traffic sites it would pretty banal to identify downvoters just with a single, daily "data snapshoot.

Not that I would do that, it is just that that would again demonstrate that Stack only really works on big numbers.

It is already pretty obvious that the "good posts float to top" only work with enough votes. I wonder if the "anonymity" also falls apart on low traffic sites.

@ShadowWizard take your crazy Den games out of here. I'm already confused enough when I randomly enter your room. :p

@Derpy might be, but even so, can't see any way to fight this

>>flip @Bart

See? Not working. :(

And today Den has no WAG (yet) just long discussion with our dear @Dam - who takes part in HNQ - congrats! ;)

hnq?

Hot Network Question

Yup, hiding post authors will indeed solve any issue related to reputation.

not "any", because the mud effect where low vote ratio sites get fewer votes because they are low vote ratio would be still there... but at least maybe people couldn't really do "mass revenge downvote" anymore

daily rant posted

returning to sleep mode

Tavern enters sleep mode

@Derpy I'll eat my hat if this ever happens

And as you can see, my hat is quite luxurious

@Magisch beware, see this case. ;)

zzzzzzz

Bov

lol

Haha.

Ooh, new election starts today?

The Bridge chat room is pretty busy "discussing" the election

@Derpy What is the bridge?

chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/35/the-bridge

@Magisch that would be Arqade main chat room.

Huh

TIL what the Bridge is

@Derpy "discussing"?

@Bart you running?

Away from it? Sure.

@ShadowWizard probably it would be more easy if you just see for yourself.

Is it like Trump/Clinton elections?

If so, I'll pass.

@ShadowWizard those ones, plus various jokes/comments on the current events.

@Derpy Well... not really familiar with arqade and not active there so guess I better pass anyway. Feel free to quote the best parts though... :)

@SmokeDetector this one is... weird. Not spam, not sure if offensive..... heck, no idea how to flag it. :(

Halp! @Bart @rene

OK, flagged as VLQ for now.

VLQ

Yeah, let the site mods deal with it. ;)

Nothing for others to get involved in

I mean its ... bad, but not any of the types of bad we deal with

True.

Might be just random trolling though, not innocent off topic question, can't really know.

@rene to let me query the API with client side JS

Oh ... I never used it

(e.g. know of any downside?)

:)

I use the normal $.get, for example here: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/337456/578411

@rene and it works? Weird...

Can someone check the last commit here:

Using github online

Is it 7c437 or 726b6

:D

?

Site for code review. Whole site. ;)

not review code but just tell me the sha-1 of the last commit

@UniversalElectricity 726b6 is the lastest, what do you want me to look at

Unless github robots are playing tricks again

@ShadowWizard pretty old?

Because I just commited 7c437 and it's not showing up

github.com/eyeballcode/MC-RealWorldInterface/commit/…

@rene yeah, but pretty sure the same origin policy hasn't changed since then.

but git log shows it

@UniversalElectricity probably one of your bots messing things up...

@ShadowWizard across a few computers?

@UniversalElectricity dunno, it's your bots...

Or should I just sleep and come back 6 hours later only to realise that it's something like caching?

@UniversalElectricity probably

ok then night all

@zaq At least we get an election before the election...

You can solve everything with downvotes...

I wonder who will run that will be experienced and that I'd want to be a mod.

we'll see ...

No Martijn probably this year...

@zaq I'm expecting at least one Trump joke candidate.

@rene turns out that at some point SE added full CORS support to the API

So much for CVs are never going away...

@ShadowWizard cool

@rene warm

:P

@hichris123 Dev Story has both views.

At least they don't mean closevotes

Granted, I just read the comment you posted, so I don't know the context

@Andy Right, but the original idea was that CVs would remain an option -- not that the story would even be needed.

@hichris123 Ah.

Election started, no nominations. People disappoint me.

My complaint about Dev Story was that it plastered the questions I wanted to feature in random spots around the timeline. I had to remove them because it was intuitive.

@Andy they are actively working on more flexible sorting

@hichris123 nothing is gone, the cheese is still there, just moved. I checked my own CV, it's still there intact.

@hichris123 did we outright say CVs were staying around? I believe we said you'd still be able to see a traditional view of your details.

Only the URL to reach it changed.

@bluefeet I'll have to dig up the quote, but I believe so.

Caucus badge is in before there's even a single nomination....

Then again - I'd rather have a few serious candidates to choose from, than a lot of candidates who aren't taking it serious enough.

@hichris123 Hmm, please do find it because I'm pretty sure that wasn't the message we were giving. If I said it, then I don't recall saying CVs were staying around.

@bluefeet yay!

also an SOCVR regular

Not sure if that is a plus ...

OK, someone has been first

@zaq Yes, he is a python dev

You could always ignore the election. It's just three messages. What comes after, though...

Well, there might come a wave of incorrectly declined flags

Supervised, I hope

@zaq Refiner. My only excuse is that I usually don't edit and answer in the same session. I'm either in "answer" mode or "edit" mode.

@zaq Hopefully that gets updated. We'll see.

I posted my nomination.

I left a comment as expected

@AaronHall You might want to change the link on "[Atwood, Spolsky][1]".

I also posted mine

Open to criticism and inquiries

@zaq it doesn't refresh on its own?

From my point of view, I'd like to seem more mods who haven't immersed themselves in the same groupthink as the rest of us have. ;-)

Well, that's me out then

there is always room for @Bart

I take up a whole lot of space. I wouldn't be so certain

glasses don't take much room

Haha

@bluefeet That's optimism for you. (Or is it pessimism?)

@JonEricson I wouldn't know, I'm just a bird with blue feet

@JonEricson I've linked to posts by Atwood and Spolsky in my profile, and I'm running out of characters.

Then leave the link out perhaps?

There is one line in there I so have the urge to troll. But I shall refrain

well, if you're thinking it, others might, which line?

Nah, just my weird mind. The "I'm circumspect" one. I just want to reply "Well, I don't see how what you did to your genitalia should influence this election".

It's bad, I know.

:D

Hey @AaronHall, glad to see you're in the running as well.

@JonEricson It's important to (sometimes) question the direction of the group. I sometimes do that. I hope I don't do it too much, but if I err on a side, too much is it.

ok, well if you can think of a word that communicates it better, let me know.

It's fine. I'm just a child sometimes

is Alex K's comment a question?

I would guess so.

@AaronHall If you're referring to the changes in the review process one, he asked me the same one.

@Bart glad you said it ...

Haha

@rene Well I got circumspected when I was little - they did tell me I was always a well-behaved child.

Community moderators moderate on the community... maybe?

In any case, @JonEricson I may be characterized as a contrarian, but I sometimes play the devil's advocate to ensure that the direction we're going stands scrutiny. Standing scrutiny is a common theme in my campaign for moderator. Can I count on your support? :)

Yay, a relevant XKCD! Timely and timeless...

@AaronHall Still a bit early for endorsements. ;-)

Try money @AaronHall. I'm sure Jon can be persuaded.

I don't have any money, but here's a kitten:

I'm violently allergic to cats.

@zaq ... that may not be what you think it is. Let me see if I can find what I suspect.

@JonEricson Missing out on some of life's greatest joys

:P

Hives and coughing fits are life's greatest joys?

@JonEricson No snuggling a kitten is

Hmm, can't seem to find it @zaq. I seem to recall a large rep recalc due to a high profile user leaving. But maybe that's not the case.

@Magisch Right. That's what I was talking about too.

@JonEricson I mean if you didn't have the hives and coughing

Snuggling a small kitten is just so ... there is few things more enjoyable then that

You could improvise and use a puppy instead

There are 2 on the SO moderator team already ...

c++ tag with a couple of active regulars. Might be legitimately possible. But it does look strange indeed.

@zaq That means nearly 1 in 5 upvotes generating rep at all (excluding accepts / edits) would have to have come from 1 person

0,85 of every 5 upvotes, to be exact

Good nominee

P.s. @zaq The previous nominations of Sergey contain no mention in any of the comments of the rep drop. So still a mystery.

> There are a lot of other rooms on Stack Exchange, I'm a regular in a large number of them, but no longer your Python room. I think the Python room is an outlier in many respects. You get a lot of new and young programmers that are just starting to learn Python and how to interact on this site. I'm not going to insist or even ask that you change. But I think that there is a need for a diversity of rooms and that you cannot have a monopoly on the Python tag.
