@JourneymanGeek look, I don't care that you have friends in high places.

I just came across this feature request from 4 years ago (show comments to 2k-ers when editing posts) the feature reuest seems to already be in effect, but I'm not sure if I'm just crazy. Can someone try to verify?

and users can even post comment while editing (dunno if it's intended or bug)
(note that the feature request is for editor without editing privilege)

@ShadowTheKidWizard you can watch a user name or add a user to what is still called a "blacklist" but really just another sort of watch which works on the account ID rather than the user name
if it's not for detecting spam, using Smokey is the wrong tool, but technically this would not be hard to implement in a bot where you throw away 100% of the spam detecting code and 100% of the metasmoke integration and probably 90% of the chat functionality
some of the SObotics tools might be more appropriate for what you are asking but I'm not familiar enough with them to say whether any one would be able to allow you to add user notifications out of the box
a flaw in Smokey is that it watches the account ID on a particular site; it would often be useful to track a user across sites, but that functionality is currently missing
there is vaguely a backlog item for fixing that but IIRC there are some complications with the SE API
thus !!/addblu https://meta.stackexchange.com/users/152859/shadow-the-kid-wizard would add your meta user to the blacklist, and thus Smokey would report "blacklisted user" for any post it scanned where this account is the author
this happens when a question gets certain types of activity, so it could trigger on and old question or answer of yours if a post is bumped
and !!/watch (?-i:^Shadow The Kid Wizard$) would apply that regex and report "potentially bad keyword" on anything it scanned that matched; the regex anchors force the whole field to match, so most probably on a user name, though it could also trigger if somebody posted a question with exactly that as the title
@ShadowTheKidWizard the user is deleted so blacklisting them makes no sense; if you have the name of the app, that's something I would be more comfortable watching than the author's name

@tripleee it's the developer of this app
honestly that has me confused
seems to be a legit app - so I've no idea why the 'new' account or the spamming
08:17
@tripleee ok, thanks!
@MetaAndrewT. by now I truly believe it's just a spammer, nothing more.
Legit person would bother to merge his accounts and not spam MSE after previous attempts already deleted.
@JourneymanGeek exactly.
@M.A.R. lol that's about what I expected. ;)
@M.A.R. to code in order to live? Yes, I'm one of them! :D
@M.A.R. legit only if you have at least 1k messages in Den! ;)
@tripleee well, didn't expect the account to be deleted, my request was for "gray zone" cases.

@Tinkeringbell I think you might want to status-review that bug. I'm not sure all that javascript for the report AD button is coming from SE servers and if something is compromised ....
@rene Good one, thanks!
I wasn't able to repro either but I've got adblockers running here as well, so that's most likely it then. :)
why would an ad for SO be promoting a specific person..
randomly annoyed Rarity from SD.
I title this one "Shadow Wizard. Again."

Hows everyone here?
15:35
Almost done working for the day, there? :D
Done working for the week
Commuting home now by train
Nice (or not, trains have gotten a bit of a worse reputation these days :P)
@Luuklag how was the first week?
@Tinkeringbell true, this morning one train failed to leave Utrecht, luckily they go every 15 mins
hi, something very bad has happened
15:38
@rene quite intense, getting to know a lot of new people, and some old acquaintices.
@Luuklag They will continue doing that after the new schedule in december too? :)
SE just shut down openid.stackexchange.com, breaking more or less every single chatbot in the process
@Tinkeringbell hopefully. Den Haag <-> Utrecht is quite a major stretch. And all trains have different final destinations
sdk coffee
15:40
@Ginger they had 4 years to make changes ....
!!/coffee
@Tinkeringbell brews a cup of mocha for @Tinkeringbell
That's the command :D
And proof the chatbot is still working fine :)
sd coffee
idk what library yall are using but I suspect if you restart the bot it's not going to work
15:41
There should be a word too, now @Sha will chastice me for telling me the propper command dozens of times before
@Ginger bottom of that first post I linked contains a link to a chat room with some things about chatbots too. Try reading there a bit, first, and if you still can't find, ask?
I am in fact in that room right now
No user or bot has authenticated via OpenID in 2022. Although the URL is still available to manage your username/password login, that's all that is available via that URL. — Jeremiah Peschka ♦ Aug 22 at 19:05
So there should literally be no bots affected.
Or people should restart their bots more often.
Unless someone built one after August ;)
Anyhow, gotta run. Bye!
I recognize the name and picture, but it still comes off as weird. The sites should be about their communities, an ad focusing on employee/mod/rockstar bob is entirely out of place. If it was an ad for a third party, it'd just be another ad, but this appears to be an ad for the community... on the community... tf is it promoting
@KevinB You got a link or printscreen of that add, I'm curious now

@Feeds Going from writer to blogger takes more than just working onebox
