How should we provide feedback to Guttenberg? #136

Closed Bhargav-Rao closed 6 years ago

Bhargav-Rao commented 6 years ago

Now that feature https://github.com/SOBotics/Guttenberg/issues/13 has been implemented, we can provide feedback to Guttenberg.

Can we come up with a clear agreement about how we need to feedback and the etiquette that is to be followed post feedback? Once we come to a conclusion, we should add the final decisions on a webpage.

I'm specifically looking for what to do when:

  1. Guttenberg reports a plagiarism, and it is a correct find.
  2. Guttenberg reports a plagiarism, and it is not plagiarized.
  3. Guttenberg reports a plagiarism, but it is attributed to the original post.
  4. Guttenberg reports a repost, and CopyPastor clearly shows that they are perfect reposts. (i.e. automatic moderator flag)
  5. Guttenberg reports a repost, but CopyPastor shows that there are just formatting differences between the two versions.
  6. Guttenberg reports a repost, and CopyPastor shows that there are quite a few differences between the two versions.

tp=1 and 4,5 fp=2,6 and case 3 baah?? either fp or ta if we like to separate them.

Bhargav-Rao commented 6 years ago

Yeah, agree with that, @jdd-software. For 3, I feel that we can reply with tp, comment asking to dupe instead of copying, but no flag.

And about flagging, I'd say we flag in cases 1 and 4; comment but no flag in 3 and 4.

I agree with you, @jdd-software. And those comments you mentioned @Bhargav-Rao also should be added to the auto comments page on https://sobotics.org/auto-comments/. Maybe we should create a PR for that once the comments are defined.

graemeberry commented 6 years ago

I'd agree with @jdd-software here. In case of three I feel a tp would be the right feedback. I think it would be also good to include in docs a "when" and "how" to flag for the tps.

@Bhargav-Rao Would it be useful for the mods, if we had a standard flag-text?

Something like this?

Plag:

This post is plagiarized from an other answer. [link to CopyPastor] #plagiarism

Repost (when it's not autoflagged after several reposts and a comment):

The user is posting the same answer to lots of questions instead of flagging them as duplicate. Example: [link to CopyPastor]

FelixSFD commented 6 years ago

I've created a file with guidelines and texts. Feel free to edit it.

Bhargav-Rao commented 6 years ago

Yes, having a CP link would be quite beneficial as Martijn mentions here. However, let us link the CP report only when it is clear on CP that it is plagiarized. Like this one.

For the reposts, the comment can be:

Please don't add the [same answer to multiple questions](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/104227/is-it-acceptable-to-add-a-duplicate-answer-to-several-questions). Answer the best one and flag the rest as duplicates, once you earn enough reputation. If it is not a duplicate, [edit] the answer and tailor the post to the question.

Bhargav-Rao commented 6 years ago

Also, the flag text should contain a link to the other answer. Something like this would be better:

This post is plagiarized from an other answer [link to the other answer], as can be seen here [link to CopyPastor] #plagiarism

and for reposts

The answer is a repost of their other answer [link to the other answer], but as there are slight differences as seen here [link to CopyPastor], an auto flag wouldn't be raised.

FelixSFD commented 6 years ago

I guess you mean "no auto flag would be raised", since we are only flagging, if it wasn't autoflagged yet?

Bhargav-Rao commented 6 years ago

Ah, yes, my bad. I edited the post. I wanted to mention "an auto flag wouldn't be raised."
