Topic on Talk:ORES review tool

Aren't this tool doing the same thing the automated bots do?

If yes, then why is their target called vandalism while this one's not?

If no, what is the difference? The earlier explanation must then gloss over the issue, since it basically says it's just a difference of degree (accepting many vs few false positives) but still doing the same job. If this tool catches "damage" and the automated tools catch something else, they are not doing the same job, and the difference ought to be explained in more detail. ~~~~

This is a tool that helps people to review. "ORES review tool" tries to collect as much as vandalism as possible. On the other hand, an anti-vandalism bot tries to be as accurate as possible and a very tiny fraction of total vandalism.

CapnZapp, "vandalism" is just a subset of what we want to catch when we're doing RC Patrolling. "vandalism" implies bad-faith intent. We also want to catch good-faith mistakes. In this vein, we decided to build a model for detecting "damage" generally. We also have a model that focuses on the good-faith/bad-faith distinction. It'll be easier to take advantage of that when we deploy the next major change to filtering on the RC page for the review tool. See the Including new filter interface in ORES review tool topic.

Thank you. Please add that explanation. ~~~~
