Invisible NSFW link and user is a troll, posting rude comments, please flag the question as rude

user202362

how do I click on an invisible NSFW link?

Thomas Ward

@Telkitty meta.stackexchange.com/questions/292600/… has an example of an invisible link

it's not really invisible but it's just very VERY hard to click on

(and that invisible link in that one meta post there just goes back to meta.se - that way it's not a spam link detection but shows an example of just how evil invisi-links are)

if it weren't for SmokeDetector we'd probably not have seen it quickly heh

@Telkitty panick is also PA-Nick

@ɥʇǝS heh, fair enough. Was this the same troll/spammer/hacker that also threatened Tim Post back in the day? Or something else?

Also, what's the story of the stuffed Iguana? How did you get to have it? :)

Sometimes I also don't feel 100% comfortable having real life avatar, but by now it's easy enough to find my real identity anyway, so it doesn't really matter. And I have knifes in my house. ;)

lol

I'm pretty sure my dog is more recognisable than I am

Shadow Wizard

@Telkitty it was clickable as a space between words. User was a really dumb troll.

Journeyman Geek

Other than the wierd random terriers who look like him all over the world.

Shadow Wizard

And it was a pic of women kiss. No nudity, but yeah NSFW.

@JourneymanGeek haha, I saw lots of similar dogs, but without any hat. :D

I have T-shirt, sticker, and a mug.

Journeyman Geek

You need to be a mod to have a hat ;p

and a staffer to get the hoodie it seems ;p

Well the SE hoodie anyway.

Shadow Wizard

And the unicorn plush?

I have an SU one

I actually have no idea if that's official swag

should not be reported, it got official answer, it's a site where nobody can vote to delete. Waste of time.

Not surprised to see this page is empty - no way to report privacy breach. Probably too many people used it, and they preferred to just shut down the option to report.

Journeyman Geek

what's the context?

Shadow Wizard

We submitted out policy for review by the US Department of Commerce. Once that goes through, we should appear on that site AFAIK.

The cert is valid, but no way to report if SE breach the privacy shield.

No way to report any site actually, if it's a bug they're not really professional, to say the least.

Journeyman Geek

I guess you can slap it in the contact page

Shadow Wizard

Guess people will just have to write using paper and pen, and deliver via mail. Real mail, in envelope and everything.

Journeyman Geek

@JourneymanGeek no point, chance I'll get response is 0.00000000000000000000000000001%.

@JourneymanGeek no, not really, just some strange request that even if posted on a site where it could be on-topic it would probably be closed. And Oded deleted it so all is good now.

Shadow Wizard

yup

OP re-posted this on Law.SE, so far only at -1 and not closed.

@JourneymanGeek repeating offenders are usually suspended for a week, @Oded is doing it a lot. :)

@M.A.R. it can burn bread

M.A.R.

@bwDraco The question?

@bwDraco Hmm, I'm thinking they lost it at the final paragraphs. Maybe an edit to neutralize the tone.

Shadow Wizard

Yup, author is deleted anyway

Which is weird.

@Shog9 Is there any way for normal people like me to access a list of posts deleted as spam + their original text? Deleted posts aren't in the archived dumps, SEDE's PostsWithDeleted drops the Body for spam, and the API /posts doesn't return deleted ones.

bjb568

Jason C

That's just ridiculous.

@bjb568 Ok, I raise you:

Jason C

Lol

@bjb568 Nice.

user315433

@JasonC Grab Post Id from a SEDE query and then click a lot, assuming you have 10K. (The query points directly to source, saving another click). Presumably, can be screen scraped too, sending your auth cookies. There's no easier way.

Jason C

@NormalHuman Ah yeah. I didn't think of that. Better than nothing.

/revisions/postid/1 is a direct link to the spam rev, saves a step at least

1 hour later…

Jason C

20:19

@NormalHuman Bah, the auth cookies become invalidated (or some protection invalidates my cookies) like 10 posts in.

Jason C

20:30

Hey @JeremyBanks is there a way for normal people to grab all posts deleted as spam/offensive? I'm out of ideas.

Public data dump doesn't include them, SEDE drops the body, the API doesn't give them back, and scraping SEDE-generated ID lists from /revisions/postid/1 with my auth cookies runs into some sort of issue (maybe rate limiting or some sort of spam protection) that logs me out, even with 5 second request intervals.

Jon Ericson

20:49

@JasonC More or less by design. I believe we sent the SmokeDetector folks a batch of spam/offensive posts (with an NDA) to validate their algorithms. (I'm a bit vague on the details, however.) What are you hoping to learn?

Jason C

21:05

@JonEricson I'm hoping to learn a few things, some related to the proposed whitespace link filter and other smokey filters. I'd rather not get into specifics if I don't have to because I don't want to start any conversations if my premises are wrong.

Also it's just a generally interesting dataset to have.

user315433

"Whitespace link" thing is a non-issue. Not worth the trouble of even thinking about scraping stuff.

Jason C

I know. But I can't prove it. But also it's a nice dataset to have for other tests too. I'm also kind of interested in evaluating SmokeDetector filters for myself, independent-study style. I have no real goal yet. I'm hoping to discover [un]interesting things.

The data is so close to being publicly accessible that I can taste it (mmm spam). I could just do like 10 requests a day for the next 7.4 years.
