^ that's what I thought too!
 
9:02 AM
@Sam Or, you know, blacklist shortened links for review.
 
@Bart yep, same here...
 
Sam
lol
But Pham wouldn't know what to class the short link as (e.g., spam/lq/off/etc).
 
New class?
 
Sam
If this is only for short lnks, then I'd say this doesn't seem worth it tbh.
I mean, who's actually going to check short link reports?
 
For me, LQ is good enough. Most shortened links are low quality since viewer cannot evaluate it just-in-time. (wait, what am I talking about)
inb4 lmgtfy
 
9:07 AM
@Sam How about "potential shortlink review needed" which is only posted if there has been active report reviewing (> X reports in previous N minutes)?
 
Sam
@Unihedro Nice idea. But I guess this report class won't qualify for the auto-review mechanism. :(
 
@Sam there should be an api

Well, unshortening links is easy, detecting them is another story...

Sam
Yeah, but I now need to hunt down the domains of all the popular shortening sites.
... then it's just a simple matter of using regex (of course ;)) to check if any of the post's links match a short domain and unshortify if so.

[ SmokeDetector ] Repeating characters in body: Powershell regex refusing to run on multiple lines by user3046742 on stackoverflow.com
 
perhaps smokey should specifically ignore any string of "X" or "x" less than .. say 30 in length?
...since it's perfectly reasonable to use it to symbolize redacted information...
such as an email, login, or pass. .. but you still want a placeholder.
And people tend to standardize on the letter "x".
 
I want a regex to match numbers in the format # ### ###.##
 
@JanDvorak \d [\d]{3} [\d]{3}\.[\d]{2}?
 
I was providing an example of another symbol that could plausibly repeat
//////////////////// in c-like code blocks, or ####### where # is a comment delimiter, ---------- in Haskell and (I think) lisp...

Q: Should "possible duplicate" comments be removed when the user's close vote expires?

MoosemanPlease note this is not a discussion about whether or not the duplicate is valid. The question has a "possible duplicate" comment. The question, however, has no close votes because it (most likely) expired. I think "possible duplicate" comments ought to be removed when all close votes in agree...

Oof. Deleted.

I would say so. If the OP doesn't understand what a try/catch does and refuses to remove it we have no idea how to solve it.
Although silverlight might cause specific issues but not for getting a stacktrace...
 
But try/catch makes all those exceptions go away @rene? That's what it's there for, right? Less bugs?

I didn't, but I can see how it could be.

(not spam)
 
@rene OP replied. Now it's much more clear. :p

@rene ehh, try{}-catch(exception){} is closer to the equivalent of on error goto 0. It's an error handler, not a blind "I don't care what just happened; just keep running code"
