Please check out this page for more information.Q+AWhy would you use an indepth search of a users transcriptions to find 'bad shells'?
There are certain phrases that users use to create bad shells that cannot be searched for such as "[?]", "the song name", "headers". We can find these oddities by going through the transcriptions manually.
Wouldn't search work for this?
Sadly, after a certain point, the search on site seems to bug and not return further results even when there are still pages on site. I have reported this to Tech but unsure of how soon it will be fixed.
How often is ShellPageBot ran?
Every 15 minutes.If you want, you can also use some of the pre-saved searches here to possibly find more "bad shells."
Warning: There will be scrolling involved and search is a bit wonky at times and will not show all instances on site. Getting creative might work better by taking a couple keywords from the longer phrases and just searching those.
