@PM2Ring ah, I see. That is nice!
yst 18:46
@PM2Ring how did they all reach the site then? Was it some organized event?
yst 18:37
Yeah. Odder and odder it gets...

could be priceless to have !!/coco coco. :-D
yst 18:24
hmm why no hot chocolate?
yst 18:24

@PM2Ring also depends on each person's agenda: just earn rep? Actually trying to help? Or the worst case, trolling on purpose to wreak havoc in SE.
yst 18:07
And I see Slate finally closed the tab that was open on chat, good. Have fun, wherever you are! :D
yst 18:06
@PM2Ring ah, I see. So yeah that's really nasty and big headache to detect. :/
yst 18:04
So I try to be more careful and treat only the obvious cases as obvious trolling.
yst 18:03
I admit having such false positive myself, couple of times.
yst 18:03
But yeah, those cases can be tricky, and there can be false positives.
yst 18:03
@PM2Ring depends, only if they're smart then they can post things that actually look legit and have some value, but many times they fail even that and it's easy enough to detect it's obvious trolling.
yst 18:01
I call that "Low Quality Troll", probably the ancient predecessor of the modern GenAI trolls. :P
yst 18:00
@PM2Ring ah, the one I mention above just posted nonsense or trivial stuff, no GenAI so not the same one.
yst 17:54
But not 100% it's the same troll.

in JNat's corner, Dec 1 at 19:38, by Shadow Wizard
@JNat troll on the roll. No rush, but better nuke the accounts, on all sites I've seen this user post pure nonsense. (rep most likely from dirty socks)
yst 17:54
I think I first reported him here:
yst 17:51
@PM2Ring noble of you to spend time actually reading it... :)
yst 17:45
@PM2Ring I'd even make it 99.999% ;)
yst 14:54
:-D

@rene ah back in 1986... awesome days...

@ElementsInSpace I know! I meant some of my comments are ranty, so it's fine when they're removed. :)
yst 12:33
yay
yst 12:26
@ElementsInSpace yeah generally speaking, looks like comments moderation got a big uptick with the, ah, new mods. I never considered my comments to be something permanent, even those I consider "useful", so I have no problem with that. Less "ranty" comments arounds does give the place a cleaner look. ;)
yst 12:22
@M.A.R. got enough of this here, thank you very much. :D

@AndreascondemnsIsrael hmm?
Sat 19:31
@JourneymanGeek true, better be avoided but when a troll targets this question...
Sat 19:07
@Spevacus sure, that is correct, and I do believe it.
Sat 18:45
@AndreascondemnsIsrael of course, and it's very tasty.
Sat 18:15
@AndreascondemnsIsrael well @M.A.R. already has the bread I threw on him before that, so your sausage was blocked.

@Slate thanks! And hope you're on your way to vacation by now, or just taking the time off and not reading pings until you get back to work. :D
