[10:53:12] <jman> Yikes, someone should moderate Anonymous Coward's post in the Ultra Thin Camera Lenses thread...
[10:53:31] <jman> By moderate, I mean get it the hell out of the database.
[11:07:43] * boru chuckles.
[11:07:51] <boru> I haven't seen GNAA bots for years.
[11:07:55] <FatPhil> Someone spammed it out of sight
[11:08:07] <jman> Yeah!
[11:08:38] <boru> I only see one post.
[11:08:38] <FatPhil> GNAA is just noise, quite easily ignored
[11:08:40] <jman> Oh, that was me. Have never actually moderated before. Does choosing spam automatically remove it from vie?
[11:08:58] <jman> s/vie?/view?/
[11:08:59] <exec> <jman> Oh, that was me. Have never actually moderated before. Does choosing spam automatically remove it from view?
[11:09:39] <FatPhil> TheMightyBuzzard probably knows the exact details, but anyone who choses to click on a spam-modded posts gets what they deserve.
[11:11:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> modding something Spam gives the comment a -1 to its score, the commenter a -10 to their karma, and the ip address a -10 to its karma
[11:12:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> thas all
[11:12:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> but my coffee cup's empty and i hear the siren song of a cigarette calling me from outside, so back in five
[11:13:08] <FatPhil> whether -1 posts are shown or expanded is a user preference, so nothing more can be said.
[11:13:53] <jman> Cool. So by accident I went straight for the nuclear option. Offtopic, Flamebait and Troll would have also applied.
[11:20:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> Spam's the proper one if a post is spam. cause you can't downmod a comment that's already at -1 further.
[11:22:18] <jman> I recall one of Johnny Carson's wacky end-of-show guests who had built a "Smoker's Hat". It had fans to suck up the fumes so you wouldn't have to leave the room. I pictured the user eventually having a cranium full of smoke particles.
[11:25:37] <jman> Hmmm, same comment in the Multi-Watt laser story. Someone's been busy!
[11:25:45] <FatPhil> gnaa tends to be copy-pasta, and spam will often be appropriate.
[11:26:43] <FatPhil> and indeed - copypasta, you did the right thing.
[11:27:19] <FatPhil> However, don't get too trigger happy, it is supposed to be the nuclear option only for the very edge cases.
[11:28:55] <jman> No worries. Usually only add comments, not moderate. That was offensive though.
[11:29:01] <FatPhil> If someone keep posting the same tired old wrong argument in a thread, then that would just be 0 disagree or -1 redundant (unless you think he's trolling or trying to derail discussions, in which case -1 Troll or -1 Flamebait)
[11:29:22] <FatPhil> Thanks, you did the right thing.
[11:30:20] <jman> Oops, mate out of town, time to feed the animals (and get more coffee)...
[11:31:34] <FatPhil> Have a good one!

[11:41:03] <boru> Feh.
[11:41:35] <FatPhil> There's a reaumur that Rankin is just a hoax
[11:47:23] <FatPhil> Ugh, how much sycophantic reacharound and cocksucking is there going to be in QT8? It arrives in our cinemas next week.
[11:56:14] <inz> Is that a wish or a worry?
[11:57:13] <FatPhil> I don't care, I ain't gonna see it. I think he's a horrifically overrated director.
[11:58:15] <FatPhil> So I guess it's a wish, and I'm sure it will get all the QT fans all moist.
[11:59:13] <FatPhil> They can then pat themselves on the back for loving such a great director, as all of the lovies think he's such a great director.
[11:59:38] <FatPhil> He's groundbreaking in how much he can copy from other people and get away with.

[12:25:16] <jman> Seems they've hit several posts. Is there some sort of db grep script that could auto-moderate based on keywords, or would the danger of wrongly flagging a legitimate comment override its value?
[12:37:17] <FatPhil> there is a database of known spam sequences, one problem with that is that it just invites gaming the system

[12:52:39] <FatPhil> I'm quite a fan of Asimov, that's quite a funny twist.
[12:53:09] <FatPhil> Nothing new, just in a new dress.
[12:54:05] <jman> I enjoy nuts'n'bolts myself. The trinity of Asimov/Clarke/Heinlein. Have tried Foundation three times though. Just can't finish. Not sure why. Got all the way to book two last time.
[13:03:28] <jman> Good video. Nice summary of some of the scarier aspects of skiffy stuff I've been reading since a kid.

[20:17:04] <chromas> For a few 10s, you can get a pass-through that doesn't filter and then take off its tag and carefully align it with the sensor so it thinks you're using the blank all the time and doesn't complain
