Here's a question for y'all as a newbie to RC patrolling.
So I've got CDVF going, and I've imported the admins. So is it now simply a job of sitting here and trying to check diffs as quickly as possible?
It strikes me that must waste *a lot* of effort - lots of people must check the same edit.
But that's no better than the old "mark this change as patrolled" system
- you are relying on someone else to check the diff! And what if they
too are a vandal, or don't bother to fix it?? Anyway, with CDVF, admin reverts are already detected and removed from the table, and diffs can be manually removed from the table (click in the "X" column), so the number of diffs that actually need checking is lower than you might think.
Eh, I solve this by marking who patrolled it and the client will have complete visability into that..
So, you could make items not appear on your list if they've been patrolled by two people or one person you really trust. Or anything else you'd like. I can also store flags set by RCers so they can mark suspicious edits for later evaluation.
Also, this will be totally decoupled from the realtime flow of edits... so you can work in realtime or you can look at the edits from last night that no one reviewed yet.
I'm only working on the backend infrastructure (well I'm 80% done now I think), this will need to be integrated into CDVF before it's useful. I suspect the interface will take more time than the :30 minutes it took me to write an irc->sql gateway. :)
