Title: How to find threads with pairs of users? Post by: DannyHamilton on January 12, 2022, 04:11:04 PM Does anyone know of a way to find all threads on the forum where two specified users BOTH posted in the thread?
Like for example if I wanted to find all threads where franky1 and LoyceV BOTH have posts in the thread, or all threads where gmaxwell and myself BOTH have posts in the thread? If I'm looking for pairs where neither user has a huge number of posts, I can probably just go to each of their profiles and capture the list of all threads from their "Show the last posts of this person." link, and then write a quick program to find threads that exist in both lists. However, capturing the unique list of all threads for someone that has tens of thousands of posts might be a bit more effort. Before I put a bunch of effort into writing something that will scrape all that data from the forum and that will compare the results of that data capture, I figured I'd check here to see if someone knows of a web service that can already do this for me, or some open-source code I can pull down and use that already does this?? I'll wait a few days for a response before I start trying to write anything, thanks. Title: Re: How to find threads with pairs of users? Post by: NeuroticFish on January 12, 2022, 05:03:54 PM It should work by searching like franky1 * loycev site:bitcointalk.org
And while Google returns only one result, duckduckgo seems to give a quite wide list. It could be what you're looking for. Title: Re: How to find threads with pairs of users?

It could be what you're looking for. One result from Google doesn't sound accurate at all. My concern with that search pattern in a search engine like Google or DuckDuckGo is that it's likely to return every post where they are mentioned by anyone even if they didn't post in the thread themselves, right?

Yeah. It won't get you specifically what you are looking for as google doesn’t work that way or know who is who either LOL. I tried following the above and it brought all the relevant thread/topic where both the username were mentioned at once. I don’t think it's the one you are looking for. I guess you have to write a script in order to doing so.Title: Re: How to find threads with pairs of users? Post by: stompix on January 12, 2022, 06:07:31 PM It should work by searching like franky1 * loycev site:bitcointalk.org Using * will make google show you only the results "franky1 <words here> loycev", so if there is not a phrase containing both of them in the same order you won't get a result, that's why (at least for me ) loycev * franky1 site:bitcointalk.org is not returning anything. You would get better results with + although it would turn a lot of lists. Code: "franky1" + "loycev" site:bitcointalk.org -showposts For the best results, I would still go on scraping data from either ninja.space or loycev archives like here 1 (https://loyce.club/archive/members/45/459836.html) , 2 (https://loyce.club/archive/members/6/65837.html) and find the matching topic id. Title: Re: How to find threads with pairs of users? Post by: LoyceV on January 12, 2022, 06:47:53 PM It should work by searching like franky1 * loycev site:bitcointalk.org I don't think this gives matches when posts are made on different pages of each topic.This sounds like something TryNinja (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=557798) has the skills and data for at Ninjastic Space (https://ninjastic.space/). But: The problem is my lack of time Before I put a bunch of effort into writing something that will scrape all that data from the forum and that will compare the results of that data capture, I figured I'd check here to see if someone knows of a web service that can already do this for me, or some open-source code I can pull down and use that already does this?? Scraping only 2 users is doable. or loycev archives like here 1 (https://loyce.club/archive/members/45/459836.html) , 2 (https://loyce.club/archive/members/6/65837.html) and find the matching topic id. I forgot I made those, this makes it so much faster! A quick fix:Code: comm -12 <(wget -qO- https://loyce.club/archive/members/45/459836.html | grep '<FONT COLOR=gray>' | cut -d'=' -f4 | cut -d'.' -f1 | sort -u) <(wget -qO- https://loyce.club/archive/members/6/65837.html | grep '<FONT COLOR=gray>' | cut -d'=' -f4 | cut -d'.' -f1 | sort -u) | sort -n | sed s/^/'https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic='/ Quote https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169836 It includes deleted posts though, and excludes hidden boards, but it seems to work :) I could add titles, but that would make it more than one line of

Post by: PrimeNumber7 on January 12, 2022, 07:00:02 PM I was working on something that scrapes the forum today and was looking at the HTML. I was able to throw together a script that should achieve what you are looking for.
Code: from typing import List The result to the above would be: Code: 2181 This script is obviously only appropriate for ad-hoc inquiries, as each time it is run, each account you are reviewing is reviewed.

Oh no, I guess is this for making one more franky-related topic :DNah. This has nothing to do with franky1 at all. Mostly, I'm just curious about threads and conversations that I've participated in the past with various other users that have been around for a few years. However, once I started thinking about having this as an available tool, I started coming up with additional use cases. That's when I finally decided that I'd ask and if nobody else had something like this (or was willing to create it) then I'd probably end up doing it myself. That way we are just pouring more gasoline on fire and result will be new walls of his posts I've had some good conversations with franky1 in the past, and he and I agree on a lot of details. However, whenever we disagree, he seems to forget every conversation we've ever agreed on and decides that I'm in some conspiracy against him. I can't control his worldview or his paranoia, but I see no reason to eliminate him from the forum. The rest of us just need to make sure to post enough facts, details, and sources so that any newbie that stumbles across his misleading posts can tell the difference. At least he's not a signature ad spammer. I'd keep 100 franky1's around if it meant I could ban everyone participating in an ad campaign. Maybe TryNinja could help with command you would need to enter to get results you want. Wasn't aware of TryNinja's stuff. I'll definitely be looking into that over the next couple of weeks. It may not be what I'm wanting for this particular question, but it looks like he's got some interesting stuff out there overall. or loycev archives like here 1 (https://loyce.club/archive/members/45/459836.html) , 2 (https://loyce.club/archive/members/6/65837.html) and find the matching topic id. I forgot I made those, this makes it so much faster! A quick fix:Code: comm -12 <(wget -qO- https://loyce.club/archive/members/45/459836.html | grep '<FONT COLOR=gray>' | cut -d'=' -f4 | cut -d'.' -f1 | sort -u) <(wget -qO- https://loyce.club/archive/members/6/65837.html | grep '<FONT COLOR=gray>' | cut -d'=' -f4 | cut -d'.' -f1 | sort -u) | sort -n | sed s/^/'https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic='/ Quote ... It includes deleted posts though, and excludes hidden boards, but it seems to work :)all threads where gmaxwell and myself BOTH have posts in the thread? Code: comm -12 <(wget -qO- https://loyce.club/archive/members/1/11425.html | grep '<FONT COLOR=gray>' | cut -d'=' -f4 | cut -d'.' -f1 | sort -u) <(wget -qO- https://loyce.club/archive/members/6/60820.html | grep '<FONT COLOR=gray>' | cut -d'=' -f4 | cut -d'.' -f1 | sort -u) | sort -n | sed s/^/'https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic='/ Quote ... This is great. Those were really just meant to be examples and not specifically the pairs I was looking for, but thanks for the demonstration! I'll play around with this a bit this afternoon. Glad I asked here before I spent a bunch of time trying to capture this data. and the social drama continues. now with danny joining in.. care to share what you wish to use this for? im guessing you want to set up some narrative that i only discuss certain topics with certain people See what I mean? - snip - Nah. This has nothing to do with franky1 at all. - snip - I've had some good conversations with franky1 in the past, and he and I agree on a lot of details. However, whenever we disagree, he seems to forget every conversation we've ever agreed on and decides that I'm in some conspiracy against him.

I'd keep 100 franky1's around if it meant I could ban everyone participating in an ad campaign. ill tell you the posts i interacted with LoyceV on: This really isn't helpful and isn't what I'm looking for at all. Thank you for contributing to this thread, but perhaps you didn't notice when I said:"Like for example if I wanted to find all threads where..." or where I said: "Mostly, I'm just curious about threads and conversations that I've participated in the past with various other users that have been around for a few years..." Title: Re: How to find threads with pairs of users? Post by: ibminer on January 12, 2022, 07:25:20 PM BPIP contains the data to create a report for this type of thing, but I don't have time to do it, an idea for the future though. LoyceV or TryNinja are good options, LoyceV probably has the most posts archived (last I checked..), but it may depend on how far back you need to search.
Title: Re: How to find threads with pairs of users? Post by: franky1 on January 12, 2022, 07:27:43 PM 1. i wrote that message before you wrote your reply saying it had nothing to do with me. even though topic title did mention it.
(it took time to collate links(before 7pm UK time) and then hit post(after 7:15) your retraction was inbetween(at 7:09) 2. just because we agree on somethings does not equal blind loyal ass kissing forever and always, after. you too disagree with me at times, but i never ask you to kiss ass to stay friendly just because of past agreements. sometimes we agree sometimes we dont. oh well. thats life i deleted the "wall of text" of links to topics which me and loyceV interacted. but maybe if your not looking for topics of two people, dont ask for a way to find topics of two people specifically by names EDIT to answer below to prevent more silly social drama pretending you never asked,.. yet its in the topic post CONTENTS.. i never specified 'title' Like for example if I wanted to find all threads where franky1 and LoyceV BOTH have posts in the thread, dont try to cause drama by meandering to say 'not in title' as silly defence when everyone cans see it was said in the messagestop doing these silly misdirect games. you said you wanted topics of 2 people and you mentioned names. end of debate. drama concluded. stop crying. move on you are only treated like part of a group when you play the same drama games as a certain group. its boring and its foolish. but when i see it happen im happy to call it out. its like you have sometimes sung from the same hymn sheet as a certain group. maybe if you dont want to be called out as a groupy, try a new song, be more original oh.. and even loyceV thought you wanted topics about me and him.. he did post them aswell. so he came to same conclusion as me about what you wanted.... so argue with him too.. oh wait. you only want to cause drama with me (yawn) bye Title: Re: How to find threads with pairs of users? Post by: DannyHamilton on January 12, 2022, 07:33:55 PM 1. i wrote that message before you wrote your reply saying it had nothing to do with me. even though topic title did mention it. (it tpook time to collate the data and then hit post) Topic title does NOT have your name in it at all. Topic title just asks how to find pairs of users. This is REALLY getting off-topic, and doesn't need to. 2. just because we agree on somethings does not equal blind loyal ass kissing forever and always, after. you too disagree with me at times, but i never ask you to kiss ass to stay friendly. just because of past agreements. Yep. I've got no problem with disagreements. It's the accusations that I'm in some cabal, or that I'm in some coordinated effort against you, or that I've sold my soul to some specific group that makes you sound paranoid.sometimes we agree sometimes we dont. oh well. thats life i deleted the "wall of text" of links to topics which me and loyceV interacted. but maybe if your not looking for topics of two people, dont ask for a way to find topics of two people specifically by names I just picked 2 random user names. I had recently read posts by you and also some by LoyceV, so those were the two usernames that first popped into mind. However, I also added myself and Gregg to make it clear that I wasn't looking specifically for any one pair. I did that SPECIFICALLY to reduce the chance that anyone might try and just dump a bunch of useless results here rather than help me find/create a tool that I could use. Most people seemed to understand that. Title: Re: How to find threads with pairs of users? Post by: NeuroticFish on January 13, 2022, 07:45:15 AM it's likely to return every post where they are mentioned by anyone even if they didn't post in the thread themselves, right? Indeed, it's far from best solution. It clearly depends whether you need it only a very few times of rather usual. If it's rather usual, then it's the job for a scraper. As said, the ideal solution would be an adaptation in TryNinja's page. Then indeed it can return exactly the unique threads where both did post - not the mentions and other "dirty tricks". I'm sorry if it didn't help as much as I hoped... I've had some good conversations with franky1 in the past, and he and I agree on a lot of details. However, whenever we disagree, he seems to forget every conversation we've ever agreed on and decides that I'm in some conspiracy against him. I can't control his worldview or his paranoia, but I see no reason to eliminate him from the forum. The rest of us just need to make sure to post enough facts, details, and sources so that any newbie that stumbles across his misleading posts can tell the difference. At least he's not a signature ad spammer. Well said. Wasn't aware of TryNinja's stuff. I'll definitely be looking into that over the next couple of weeks. It may not be what I'm wanting for this particular question, but it looks like he's got some interesting stuff out there overall. I (also) recommend the bpip extension (I see that somebody else also recommended it). Without that I would have been missing ninjastic.space myself (and some other goodies too). I just picked 2 random user names. Unfortunately nowadays writing down a name means that a third party software may notify the user. And from there to useless discussions/explanations is just a tiny step. Back on topic. Although I expect TryNinja get notified and come here, maybe you make a request or even fork/adapt his source code for your needs: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5273824 |
