We're living in a time where retoor and Buffon are fighting each other with bots.
Truly one of the moments of all time.16 -
Hello all,
Did a MASSIVE spam down vote action..
If you've watched the algo-list you kinda had an idea how much spam there was. In exception of rants, it also down vote the spam comments posted under regular rants. Also made a progress with historic rants.
I think I leave it at this for now, gonna do some machine learning for spam and will apply that as filter in the future.
Site is now clean enough now to not encounter spam just browsing the site.
Our new frenemy Buffon gave as tip the no index tag what is a great idea for users not having reputation < 5 or so. Will contact dfox if he's willing to do this small change.8 -
i am currently tasked with testing various small company ERP softwares.
for the current one i have a full 30 days evaluation copy based on MSSQL Server, i had some problems to integrate the local MS Jet Databse into the server so i call support, all is well and good..except it doesnt work. After a while it turns out, my 15 character password was too long for their software to handle. Furthermore, everytime i try to login i have to enter the password twice, after asking the support why that is they say "so you have additional validation if you entered the correct password"
i tried to explain three times that i know the password, i dont create a password, there is no need for validation, the server (hopefully) will report wether my password was right or wrong. Support guy just says "i think differently, this is a good function"
in a few weeks i will visit them personally for a meeting, i dont know yet if i can stop myself stranggling this buffon2 -
Happy new year Ragnar, doing such an amazing job that AI would be a down grade in any way. Two false positives since existance and rarely one slips trough. People do actually call @ragnar if smth slips trough. Makes me happy and surprised how much people did read the few times I mentioned that feature. Says a lot about activity regarding readers in the community.
The spammers didn't celebrate new years it seems. Hard workii workii. Also happy new year.
Buffon, especially happy new year to you. You owe me two days of work for your shit. At least happy to know that the spam king at least is a real dev.
I hope this will be a good year for devrant. There's no reason that it wouldn't. We're te coolest independent single subject reddit thread on the internet.1
