User talk:Furricane: Difference between revisions

::{{ping|TFFfan}} I appreciate, very much, that you were trying to help and you've got more experience with coding abuse filters than me. Unfortunately, it just wasn't coded correctly, and, as a result, produced highly undesirable results. This is why I strongly encouraged you to run your code by a [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] first, because it's helpful to have someone experienced with abuse filters peer review your code. As we can see, the abuse filter system isn't well designed when cleanup has to be performed (i.e., removing tags from false positives). So, the mantra with abuse filters really needs to be '''test, re-test, and test some more''' before going live. It is fine to partially block yourself to enforce your topic ban, though your block log annotation could've been clearer as it suggests the ''block'' was at {{ping|RhinosF1}}'s request. It was a self-requested block, to help ''you'' enforce your topic ban (which is totally fine). One thing that might be helpful for abuse filter testing would be to test the abuse filter on a private wiki. Do you have your own wiki? That way, you could work on it there, fine-tune it, and then have RhinosF1 or another Consul join you ''there'' to peer review it and fine-tune it with a second set of eyes.

::{{ping|TFFfan}} I've also undone several of your [[w:WP:AGF|good-faith]] revision deletions. I see why you wanted to revision delete a couple of the entries, to hide your IP address from when you were testing. That is a good reason to revision delete, but revision deletions are still accessible to anyone below [[meta:Oversight|Oversight]], so I've requested {{ping|Void}} suppress two of the revisions so only [[meta:Oversight|Oversight]] will have access to them. I have also unhidden your TFFfan username from the other revision(s) that you deleted because, in most cases, it's generally ''not'' necessary to hide the username (the exceptions being when the editor edited while logged out or if another user had a grossly offensive username violation and was now globally locked or blocked).
