[00:17:10] <BadCoderFinger> Hi guys
[00:37:45] <cmn32480> ~gday BadCoderFinger
[00:37:47] * exec brazenly throws a toilet bowl of skittles at BadCoderFinger
[00:38:07] * cmn32480 hopes it was a clean toilet bowl
[00:39:03] <BadCoderFinger> Hey cmn32480
[00:39:05] <cmn32480> imogen is back! so much for the Greeks
[00:39:26] <cmn32480> how goes?
[00:39:52] <BadCoderFinger> I'm not really sure what to do with a toilet bowl full of skittles. I'll have to ask SpallsHurgenson what to do with them. Mind you, we might have to censor his answer.
[00:40:35] <cmn32480> I imagine, if the bowl was clean, and not full of water, you would eat them
[00:40:46] <BadCoderFinger> Every day, I find a new reason to hate subversion. I'm the only one using git-svn, and it's good for what it is. I really with we could move up to plain git though.
[00:41:08] <mythterj> Or ask what Marshan Lynch was doing in your bathroom...
[00:41:22] <BadCoderFinger> There are too many ingrained connotations to "toilet bowl" to ever eat skittles placed there.
[00:41:34] <cmn32480> based on the residue, going beast mode on my toilet
[00:42:32] <cmn32480> they play a chairty football game here called the toilet bowl.
[00:43:05] <BadCoderFinger> Good god man, what's the prize for winning? A roll of toilet paper?
[00:43:23] <cmn32480> the loser claims the sewage plant for the year
[00:43:58] <cmn32480> it is between 2 areas of Baltimore that have the shit plant situated on hte border
[00:44:21] <BadCoderFinger> You'd think there would be a tax write off.
[00:44:58] <cmn32480> yeah... but nobody wants the stink
[00:46:52] <BadCoderFinger> Soooo... the loser has to have a giant fan pointed their way?
[00:47:51] <cmn32480> pretty much
[00:48:15] <cmn32480> we keep trying to find a way to push those sections of town into the bay
[00:49:12] <BadCoderFinger> You live in Baltimore?
[00:49:20] <cmn32480> near it
[00:49:43] <BadCoderFinger> I did a contract in Sparks, north of Towson.
[00:49:53] <BadCoderFinger> I lived north of Reisterstown.
[00:49:54] <cmn32480> personally, I 'd love to sink the whole city into the harbor adn be done with it
[00:50:04] <cmn32480> nice
[00:50:05] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, that was my opinion as well.
[00:50:08] <cmn32480> the world is small
[00:50:15] <BadCoderFinger> It was really nice to leave!
[00:50:16] <cmn32480> I'm actually in Bel Air
[00:50:46] <cmn32480> i bet
[00:50:53] <cmn32480> I feel that way every time I leave the city
[00:51:15] <cmn32480> somethign akin to "I survived another visit to this money sink of a city"
[00:51:25] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[00:52:08] <cmn32480> fence the whole thing off and turn it to rubble
[00:52:30] <cmn32480> but enough about that
[00:54:28] <cmn32480> anythign interesting going on?
[00:54:40] <cmn32480> and am I the only one that is super tired this week?
[00:54:57] <BadCoderFinger> You're not alone. I'm beat.
[00:55:09] <BadCoderFinger> Nothing really interesting.
[00:55:43] <BadCoderFinger> Using neovim, pretty nifty.
[00:57:16] <cmn32480> ok
[00:57:36] <cmn32480> I'm getting prepped for the 18"-24" of snow we are expecting starting tomorrow night
[00:57:44] <BadCoderFinger> Work is killing off SSH in favor of Cisco's VPN.
[00:58:27] <cmn32480> ewwwwwww
[00:58:41] <BadCoderFinger> I know. Use a proper IPSec VPN instead of SSL.
[00:59:22] <cmn32480> are they completely uninformed or just don't care?
[00:59:26] <BadCoderFinger> Because clearly a web-installed java app is much more secure than SSH with a pre-shared key. Sigh.
[01:00:00] <BadCoderFinger> Security is really important to them. Now, they don't hire security experts, they outsource it. You know, for security.
[01:00:18] <cmn32480> so... nimnobs?
[01:00:29] <BadCoderFinger> The real point is to have a vendor that they can yell at if something happens. "It's not our fault, a vendor screwed up."
[01:00:34] <cmn32480> security is important to us too... but we windows for everything
[01:00:51] -!- qkontinuum has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[01:01:05] <BadCoderFinger> And, oddly enough, I've done a decent bit with security. But they don't ask me.
[01:01:42] <cmn32480> so you can't be blamed
[01:01:50] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah.
[01:01:54] <cmn32480> coudl eb worse
[01:02:11] <cmn32480> they ask, you tell, and then they do the opposite
[01:02:17] <BadCoderFinger> Sort of like if I designed cars, and we made a Pinto. "You can't sue us, we outsourced that design."
[01:02:38] <cmn32480> <BOOM!>
[01:03:03] <cmn32480> https://www.youtube.com
[01:03:04] <JihadBot> ^ 03Ford Pinto bursts into flames - car test (long version) - YouTube
[01:03:29] <BadCoderFinger> The real point of security should be reducing the chance of a compromise, and minimizing losses. But for corporate America, it's deflecting blame.
[01:03:52] <cmn32480> yes
[01:03:55] <cmn32480> yes it is
[01:04:26] <cmn32480> and as long as they deflect the blame some direction other than toward me....
[01:04:49] <BadCoderFinger> That seems to be the real goal.
[01:05:04] <cmn32480> back in a bit... I gotta go bathe my youngest
[01:05:16] <cmn32480> my wife says so

[01:14:35] <BadCoderFinger> China's cities have bad air? I had no idea, what with the nation ordering the shutdown of factories during the olympics in Beijing so the athletes could breathe.

[02:26:04] Bytram|away is now known as Bytram
[02:29:43] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: you still arond?
[02:29:48] <Bytram> *around?
[02:33:49] <Bytram> I resynced my repo ( cd ~/rehash && git checkout && git pull upstream master && git push origin master ) and then made changes to a file, forgetting to create a new branch first. :/
[02:34:16] <Bytram> ahh, it was a small change. git status confirms that is the only change; reverted it, and now '
[02:35:17] <Bytram> 'git status' reveals: "On branch master" "Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'." "nothing to commit, working directory clean"
[02:35:34] <Bytram> so, I'm back to a clean repo
[02:35:49] <Bytram> just need to create a new branch and THEN make my changes! (doh!)
[02:36:20] <Bytram> git checkout -b noicons
[02:48:11] <Bytram> that's looking better!
[02:52:00] <Bytram> git add file1 && git add file2 && git commit && git push origin noicons
[02:52:20] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: I think that should do it.
[02:52:34] <Bytram> break time
[02:55:53] <SirFinkus> some asshole private pyle'd us in math class today

[03:08:43] <Bytram> it's warmer near the south pole than it is in Boston, MA!
[03:08:57] <Runaway1956> 30 degrees isn't very cold, we all know that, but when freezing rain drips down your back, 100 degress is cold!
[03:09:23] <Bytram> I get the idea
[03:09:36] * Runaway1956 hates winter rain
[03:09:49] * Runaway1956 prefers 0 degrees and snow
[03:10:28] <Bytram> properly clothed, snow just bounces off but rain tends to soak right through, no matter what you are wearing
[03:12:03] <Runaway1956> In order, the best thing to be wearing is ripstop nylon filled with holofil, wool, and down - forget all the rest
[03:12:40] <Bytram> I'd suggest a possible addition of GoreTex
[03:12:48] <Bytram> otherwise fully agree
[03:13:03] <Runaway1956> Good for boots, I've never owned Gortex in any other garment
[03:13:37] <Bytram> makes for a great spring jacket; keeps out the rain but lets the perspiration evaporate. =)
[03:14:15] <Runaway1956> Ever worn those Mickey Mouse boots? Huge suckers, at least twice as big as your foot, you blow them up with about ten pounds of air - completely waterproof
[03:14:25] <Runaway1956> Makes for a weird walking gait though

[03:17:09] * Runaway1956 is plotting the vegetable revolution
[03:18:25] <chromas> I can't imagine vegetables putting in the effort to start a revolution
[03:18:55] <Runaway1956> We're doing it the vegetable way - the folic acid will be quietly turned into sulphuric acid
[03:18:58] <chromas> They could probably tag along during the fruits' pride parades though
[03:19:23] <Runaway1956> Vitamin C will become a coagulant
[03:19:53] <Runaway1956> Vitamin E will be turned into a heart stopping drug
[03:20:00] <Runaway1956> all done quietly

[11:14:49] <crutchy> maybe visited by a crawler

[11:17:30] <crutchy> he's probably developing healthcare.gov v2
[11:17:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, i dunno but it's taken so long that he shall be harassed about his supposed miraculous powers of coding.
[11:17:55] <lllll> ur all nerds here?
[11:18:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm, basically. i mean we are using irc.
[11:18:32] <crutchy> i'm only a geek. not having mastered perl i haven't yet earned my nerd stripe
[11:18:34] <lllll> k :| in not tho :p well maybe an ex nerd

[11:19:58] <crutchy> to nerds that just love pizza
[11:20:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh and bots. it's apparently a right of passage to write your own irc bot around here.
[11:20:14] <lllll> Oh :/ I'm not really anything. I did comp sci at uni.. was a long time ago now and I don't work in IT

[11:42:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm, roomie may not be taking his CDL road test today. snow's coming down fairly thick out there.
[11:43:43] <lauraaa> ooo that was on the news here.. The snow
[11:44:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> what, our snow here in the states was on irish news?
[11:44:44] <lauraaa> yea well uk newz
[11:44:51] <lauraaa> worst snow this decade or something
[11:44:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> funky
[11:45:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> is it? not supposed to be around this area but we may get a foot or two.
[11:45:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> i really should watch tv occasionally. at least the weather.
[11:46:07] <lauraaa> East coast it just said I think. ppl clearing out the supermarkets and stuff
[11:46:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, wal-mart was a little crazy for a weekday yesterday when we went grocery shopping
[11:47:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> i figured it was just people not wanting to go out in the snow
[11:47:58] <lauraaa> Must b think they r gonna get snowed in
[11:48:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> well a little snow certainly isn't going to stop me from going somewhere i want to go. some people do suck at driving in it though.
[11:50:14] <crutchy> i think i'd rather heat than snow. at least cars have air conditioning. snow plows are expensive
[11:51:27] <lauraaa> I hate driving in it. scary

[12:02:57] <lauraaa> glad tomorrow is Saturday. I'm meant to b working from home today but haven't done much
[12:03:20] <lauraaa> Have any of u ever met up?
[12:03:37] <crutchy> i had a wishy washy work day today. lots of interruptions. not much work done :/
[12:04:11] <lauraaa> u do programming?
[12:04:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, some of us what work for the site have.
[12:04:25] <lauraaa> u needs to change his or her name
[12:04:40] <crutchy> i haven't. everyone's scared of dropbears and won't fork out for a plane ride for me to travel :p
[12:05:09] <lauraaa> oooh yea ur quite far
[12:05:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> NCommander gets around quite a bit within the US. he's met with several of the staff.
[12:05:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, dropbears are evil and everything that isn't a dropbear down there is poisonous and actively trying to kill you.

[12:08:24] <exec> [google] https://www.youtube.com
[12:08:53] <lauraaa> so is being staff for this like a main job?
[12:09:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we're all volunteer. the site only makes barely enough to cover its bills.
[12:09:58] <crutchy> but the CEO gets 100 times more than everyone else the greedy bastard
[12:11:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, we still owe our two investors like six grand or so. well kinda. we issued them stock so the debt wouldn't be a proper debt.
[12:12:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> but hey, we made a proper profit for 2015, so I'm stoked about our financial situation.
[12:12:02] <lauraaa> Is the CO here?
[12:12:03] <lauraaa> ceo
[12:12:06] <lauraaa> Why do u owe ppl anything tho? isn't it just a website?
[12:12:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, we got a board of directors, CEO, COO, and CFO.
[12:12:52] <crutchy> lauraaa, haha i don't get it either. i think its a USA thing
[12:12:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah but we have like 8 servers and domain names that need paying for.
[12:13:30] <lauraaa> Isn't 1 server enough? :s
[12:13:31] <crutchy> yanks are a bit weird
[12:13:40] <lauraaa> yea I agree lol
[12:13:42] <crutchy> but we loves them too :p
[12:14:35] <lauraaa> Moat americans I've spoken to online seem kind of annoying :| no one here tho :p yet!!
[12:14:41] <lauraaa> most
[12:14:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> technically, yes. not if you want a dev box you can try things out on, an irc box, a staff use box, double web front ends for minimal downtime, double separate database servers for the same.
[12:15:11] <crutchy> guys here are pretty friendly and outgoing
[12:15:16] <lauraaa> Is everyone here staff?
[12:15:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you want to be professional and almost never have your site down, you gotta pay for it.
[12:15:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, not by a long shot.
[12:15:48] <crutchy> i'm just a part of the furniture
[12:15:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> the people with voice/ops are staff
[12:16:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> except Imogen, Imogen is a bot.
[12:16:26] <crutchy> Imogen is people!

[12:18:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram|away's job is QA, or in other words, finding ways of breaking my perfectly good code
[12:18:41] <lauraaa> I can code
[12:18:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya?
[12:18:59] <crutchy> lauraaa, it's a trap!
[12:18:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> perl or javascript?
[12:19:07] <lauraaa> public static void main.. its all I remember lol
[12:19:16] <lauraaa> java
[12:19:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, well you could help me with my minecraft mod i guess but the site all runs on perl
[12:19:43] <crutchy> i don't think perl is real code anyway. it's more alien hieroglyphs
[12:20:01] <lauraaa> I really wouldn't b any help :|
[12:20:11] <crutchy> same here. i don't do perl
[12:20:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you have an artistic bent though, we could use site design help.
[12:20:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> leaving that stuff to programmers gives you a site that looks like you left the art to programmers.
[12:20:54] <lauraaa> I don't know what a minecraft mod is either :|
[12:21:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> mod for a game. written in java though and i suck at java.

[16:14:50] <CoolHand> I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life once my 401 grows enough to retire
[16:14:57] <CoolHand> probably not for another 20, but I cna dream
[16:15:14] <cmn32480> wow coolhand... you ARE old....
[16:15:54] <Runaway1956> Sounds old anyway - I'm still not thinking of retiring - gonna make the bosses suffer until the day I die.
[16:16:05] <lauraaa> runaway are u 60?

[16:27:48] <cmn32480> yes
[16:28:11] <cmn32480> and for that reason I pretty much don't shop there anymore

[22:40:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> Some people could still manage to fuck that up. "The launch codes are all 0!" "Where's the 'all' key?"

[22:40:59] <SirFinkus> 1 zero I mean
[22:42:09] <crutchy> back in the 80's it probably took computers days to brute force a single digit password of 0 by starting at 0

[22:48:17] <srijan> hi everyone! I am a phd student researching on social networks. I need some help regarding user data from SoylentNews. who should I talk to?
[22:48:33] <SirFinkus> NSA plz go
[22:49:12] <srijan> lol :D
[22:49:30] <crutchy> hi babe yes i am real man you guys want to go skateboards?
[22:52:00] <crutchy> srijan, what sort of stuff do you wanna know?
[22:53:57] <srijan> hi crutchy! I want to know when a user joined SoylentNews, and when he added other users as friends or foes.
[22:54:44] <crutchy> you can probably get the first part. not sure about the friends and foes bit though
[22:55:58] <srijan> okay.. where do i get the registration info from?
[22:56:00] <crutchy> what's your phd thesis about?
[22:57:42] <crutchy> are you a member of SN?
[22:58:00] <crutchy> don't seem to be able to find your profile on the site
[22:58:18] <srijan> my thesis is about detecting and understanding malicious users (trolls, vandals, etc.) on social networks. I am currently working on modeling the evolution of networks with friend and enemy relations.
[22:58:32] <crutchy> cool
[22:58:52] <SirFinkus> looking for trolls and vandals? you've come to the right place
[22:59:21] <nick> lol
[22:59:29] <srijan> crutchy, I just joined. search me by "srijan"
[22:59:35] <crutchy> are you writing some sort of algorithm?
[22:59:47] <srijan> SirFinkus, lol yaa... seems like it :D
[23:01:34] <srijan> crutchy, yeah! algorithm and mathematical models.
[23:02:44] <crutchy> have you looked at many sites yet?
[23:02:49] <srijan> but need some data to go ahead!
[23:03:14] <srijan> Yup! I have worked on detecting trolls on Slashdot, and vandals on Wikipedia
[23:04:08] <crutchy> you can probably get info from SN similar to how you got it from /. although the site apps have deviated a bit from the original base
[23:04:38] <crutchy> SN is more like /. before it went full tard
[23:04:49] <srijan> Seems like SoylentNews is also a good platform for such analysis as well --- just saw TheMightyBuzzard's journal listing few trolls!
[23:05:01] <crutchy> ooh i missed that
[23:05:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm?
[23:05:16] <nick> speak of the troll...
[23:05:49] <srijan> crutchy, I didn't collect data from /., I used what was already available -- so I don't know how to get data from SN!
[23:06:03] <crutchy> isn't the top troll the infamous AC user?
[23:06:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> we don't log when social relations change, only store their state
[23:06:12] <srijan> I am speaking about this journal entry: https://soylentnews.org
[23:06:13] <SirFinkus> that bastard
[23:06:13] <icon> ^ 03Journal of The Mighty Buzzard (18)
[23:06:25] <SirFinkus> he spams all the threads
[23:06:28] <crutchy> you could get the join date. that's about it
[23:08:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> and unfortunately moderation logs only go back about a month or so.
[23:08:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> well more like 3 i think
[23:09:07] <srijan> o/ TheMightyBuzzard! so, no log of when new relations are added/deleted exists?
[23:09:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope
[23:09:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> messages are sent at the time of change but that isn't logged anywhere either.
[23:10:05] <crutchy> i guess if you stored all that kinda stuff you could write some kinda neural network algo that worked out a troll score. users could wear it like a badge of victory :p
[23:10:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, and they would
[23:10:27] * TheMightyBuzzard polishes his own
[23:10:45] <srijan> lol ;)
[23:11:01] <SirFinkus> probably could do something interesting comparing the length of a comment and the length of a reply
[23:11:15] <SirFinkus> a great troll can generate paragraphs of text with a one liner
[23:11:23] <SirFinkus> and dozens of replies
[23:11:24] <crutchy> seems like a pretty interesting phd thesis
[23:11:28] <nick> seems that people are not using troll mod appropriately, maybe i've missed it, but most listed there are not exactly what i'd describe as trolls
[23:11:47] <crutchy> srijan, dunno if you're gunna get much useful data from here but good luck with it dude
[23:11:52] <SirFinkus> *shock* *horror* people are using the user moderation incorrectly
[23:11:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> nick, most are "i disagree strongly with you and desire to see you punished"
[23:12:08] <SirFinkus> that's why I don't really like user moderation
[23:12:09] <crutchy> TheMightyBuzzard, yeah i think so
[23:12:30] <nick> TheMightyBuzzard: seems about right
[23:12:30] <SirFinkus> I've NEVER seen it not devolve into -1 disagree
[23:12:56] <srijan> crutchy, yeah its a fun topic to work on :)
[23:13:08] <crutchy> even like/hate scores probably end up creating a circlejerk community
[23:13:25] <crutchy> only those that agree with consensus get upmodded
[23:13:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> srijan, you might could talk paulej72 into running a log of future relationship changes but i highly doubt he'd not sanitize it to the point of uselessness.
[23:13:38] <nick> SirFinkus: i think it works in that there's not an overall score
[23:13:56] <chromas> didn't barney teach kids about circlejerks?
[23:14:15] <nick> having the cap at 5 and not having a publicly listed total karma score, makes user moderation useful in my book
[23:14:16] <SirFinkus> it's not as bad with sites like SN and that other site because everything is capped
[23:14:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> we're pretty big on science but we're also big on not data-mining our users
[23:14:31] <SirFinkus> but it still exists on SN
[23:14:38] <chromas> ♪I love you; you love me…♫
[23:14:40] <nick> and for the most part it's not abused here, i assume partly because of the limit on points
[23:15:04] <crutchy> chromas, lol
[23:15:15] <crutchy> oh btw welcome back chromas
[23:15:37] <chromas> thanks. my internet was visiting barny
[23:16:39] <crutchy> needed its pipes cleaned?
[23:17:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm, you can currently get people's friends/foes from the api. but you'd have to grab full info on every single uid.
[23:17:59] <srijan> i could spend some time doing that!
[23:19:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you're gonna do it though, put at least a second or five between each call to the api please.

[23:20:19] <srijan> Thanks TheMightyBuzzard for the link!

[23:20:49] <crutchy> lol
[23:20:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> compare the json lists under "people" to the uids of the user on their user page to figure out which category is which. i don't know off the top of my head except 1 = Friend
[23:21:15] <SirFinkus> banning trolls? what's the fun in that?

[23:22:22] <SirFinkus> TheMightyBuzzard would have to ban himself too, what would you call that?
[23:22:26] <SirFinkus> needs a fancy greek word
[23:22:30] <crutchy> masochism
[23:22:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> srijan, aren't any banned users. trolls you'd need to go through the mod log again and find out who's winning lately.
[23:23:03] <SirFinkus> cybercide!
[23:23:28] <SirFinkus> although that doesn't include the "self" part
[23:23:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> rather i'd need to. it takes running a script against the db to get the current rankings
[23:23:38] <SirFinkus> cyber suicide would get the media talking
[23:25:26] <srijan> are the mod logs public?
[23:25:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> while we've banned some ip addresses for spam and some users from moderating, we've never banned any user account from reading/posting
[23:25:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope, i'd have to run a script against them on one of the database machines
[23:26:25] <srijan> okay.
[23:26:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> i've got no problem doing it though. just keep in mind it's a small window rather than a complete log.
[23:27:44] <srijan> what exactly does it count, like the number of -1s or something? (sorry, I am unfamiliar with SN).
[23:28:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> the script i wrote counts up the number of -1s of type... um... 3 or 5 or whichever Troll is, then ranks everyone by their count.
[23:29:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> it can easily be altered though.
[23:30:17] <srijan> so the higher this value, the more "bad" they are currently?
[23:30:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep
[23:31:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> mind you it's worth comparing that number to their karma score. most of our dedicated trolls around here keep max karma by also making useful posts.
[23:32:19] <srijan> how did you end up on that list on your journal #1621? :p
[23:32:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> people dislike my political positions
[23:33:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> and i'm rather blunt about both them and people being foolish.
[23:34:00] <srijan> so, it is more of "disagreement" score of people, rather than troll-ishness
[23:34:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> truthfully, almost every one of those mods is a bad mod though. i hardly ever properly troll in comments. i save that for my submissions.
[23:34:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, somewhat. most of the Ethanol-Fueled mods are legit. he's a troll and proud of it.
[23:35:32] <srijan> lol ok, got it.
[23:37:36] <srijan> can you please run the script to get the latest results? it would help me a lot!
[23:37:46] <srijan> (if it is not a lot of trouble)
[23:37:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, give me a few
[23:38:02] <srijan> ok, great thanks!

[23:40:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> heya, Deucalion
[23:40:29] <Deucalion> hi TMB, how's things?
[23:40:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> fair, fair

[23:43:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> latest Troll rankings: https://staff.soylentnews.org
[23:44:09] <srijan> wooot! That was super quick!! thanks
[23:44:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> looks like Runaway1956 bumped me out of second spot
[23:44:52] <Deucalion> Oooh - looks like I made the list at last :D
[23:45:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's just Troll mods, mind you. doesn't include any of the other downmods that get used as -1 Disagree
[23:45:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> Deucalion, congrats!
[23:45:31] <Deucalion> I figured that from the filename :P
[23:46:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> nice to see EF keeping standards up though
[23:46:42] <Deucalion> Not seen much from him recently
[23:46:59] <srijan> yeah, troll mods seems more appropriate to label users are trolls or not, right? (even though you would get ranked 3...)
[23:47:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> right, yet he still managed to stay in first place
[23:47:23] <srijan> with a huge margin too
[23:47:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> srijan,
[23:47:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> bleh
[23:47:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> Flamebait gets used that way as well
[23:47:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> often
[23:48:23] <crutchy> some mods get misused/confused
[23:48:42] <Deucalion> I've lost track of how many Spam mods I have reversed
[23:48:45] <srijan> i see.
[23:49:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> reversed or reversed and banned?
[23:49:20] <Deucalion> never banned anyone
[23:49:28] <crutchy> descriptive mods are always gunna be a bit subjective
[23:49:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> bleh, do it. it's fuuuun
[23:50:05] <Deucalion> Nah, they just seemed like genuine misunderstanding of what "Spam" is meant to be used for
[23:50:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[23:51:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> honestly it annoys me to have to handle the ones that no questions were abusing the mod.
[23:51:02] <srijan> so, what happens if you combine troll mods + flamebait mode together for each user ? does the ranking change?
[23:51:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean it's not like we didn't tell everyone if you abuse it, you lost moderation privileges
[23:51:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> srijan, that'll take a moment to look up
[23:52:03] <Deucalion> Abuse is not the same as genuinely misuse :P
[23:52:33] <srijan> okay thanks, again!
[23:53:20] <crutchy> TheMightyBuzzard, maybe post it as another journal :)
[23:53:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> might do, might do.
[23:54:04] <srijan> good idea ;)
[23:55:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> troll+flamebait combined: https://staff.soylentnews.org
[23:55:56] <crutchy> haha AC rulz! :D
[23:56:28] <crutchy> hmm. i'm only 15
[23:56:30] <srijan> thanks TheMightyBuzzard!! :)
[23:56:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[23:56:48] <crutchy> though i've helped AC's score :)
