Adjusted keywords to reduce false positives. #100
Conversation
Update from master
Removed "black magic" and adjusted "weight loss" to reduce false positives. Regarding "weight loss": - It was causing too many false positives due to [the term *deadweight loss*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_loss), which frequently occurs in economics. - Reference [this chat on Charcoal HQ](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/25247160#25247160) - Tweaked the regex to only match when word starts with "weight". <br> For "black magic" see: - Starting [here, on Tavern](http://chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/4165391#4165391) and - [Here, on Charcoal HQ](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/25247400#25247400)

I'd rather reduce the number of sites "black magic" applies on. There is a recurring spammer who posts about black magic. |
|
@Manishearth Okay, I'll investigate that. I've seen nothing but false positives for it so far. Can we kill it for now while I look into the per-site thing? |
|
@ProgramFOX thoughts? Also on the addition to the privileged users list. |

"from Islam" |

You're right, but then: http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/25247400#25247400 |
|
Yes, I wonder what he says in light of the "recurring spammer" thing |
|
Can you point out some of that spam? Might be able to fix it another way, maybe... |
|
Well, it's all gone now 😄 It's similar to the vashikaran spam. It was one of the reasons we created smokey in the first place. |
|
@Manishearth Okay, I put the check back in for now. |
|
Not sure. r=me once travis passes |
|
Okay @Manishearth, all checks have passed. |
Adjusted keywords to reduce false positives.

Thanks! |
